The training process of professional soccer players has become part of a powerful economic system. The case of Pintinho illustrates the drama not only of soccer players, but all those gifted with talent and potential who permanently struggle against the social and economic conditions in which they live and which hinder their personal realization. The film shows soccer as one of the few ways of escaping poor social conditions, as well as the high price of success, the problems in overcoming personal limitations and bearing the pressures of premature expectations.
