The story of FIFA World Cup of 1950, highlighting the path of the two teams who played the final match: Uruguay and Brazil. The whole story shows not only one side. While Uruguayan team acquired confidence after an initial mistrust, Brazil was by far the best team in the competition but was heavily influenced by the environment in Brazilian society, the influence of politics and the pressure of the fans. While Uruguay overcame heroically all the constraints and, led by Obdulio Varela, won a title that few people believed, Brazilians got shocked because they considered themselves champions even before the final match.
*Prior to the screening, a Q&A with the producer Alvaro Izquierdo.
