The film about Heleno de Freitas (1920/1959) (Santoro), who was one of the greats of Brazilian football. An exceptional player, but very temperamental, while that displayed his enormous talent on the pitch, showed her charm in the evenings locals. Beautiful, elegant and arrogant, and had lived in bohemian affairs constant, drank heavily, took drugs and not cared athletically, living creating controversies club (Botafogo), with colleagues and frictions with opponents. He had a brief stint in Argentina, where trained clothing and outerwear, for not supporting the ice. Produção inspired the book "There was never a man like Heleno" (title inspired by the movie "Gilda" with Rita Hayworth, who was the pejorative nickname of Heleno), the journalist Marcos Eduardo Neves. It is worth mentioning that the film is not about football, goes far beyond this bias, it shows starkly the uncertainties of a celebrity ambiguous and unprepared - Filmed in black and white with great photography and reconstitution of the time, tuned cast and superb acting of Rodrigo Santoro .
