1924: a group of men, amateur footballers of diverse professions and humble origins, set out on a journey towards the greatest adventure of their lives. They depart from Uruguay for Europe to disembark in Paris in its "Crazy Years" where, against all odds, Olympic glory and the amazement of the whole world awaited them. This feat would be the first of others to come in 1928 and 1930.

The unexpected victory over Uruguay in the World Cup Brazil 1950 continues to have social and political ramifications for both countries.
Screenplay
El día de la final del torneo entre brasileños y celestes, el 10 de enero de 1981, los miles de uruguayos que abarrotaron el Centenario, avivados por el triunfo de la selección, explotaron al grito de “Se va a acabar, se va a acabar la dictadura militar”, que había sido rechazada con un rotundo NO en el plebiscito y desataron una espontánea manifestación contra la dictadura que continuó en las calles y cuya perspectiva se hizo indetenible. El film recaba opiniones de los protagonistas de todos los sectores que participaron de aquel momento y va imprimiendo un aguafuerte donde cada personalidad surge con sus tonos propios. La edición le da ritmo al paneo de relatos y a la vez sabe contar la historia concreta de aquel Mundial Copa de Oro, en el marco tan particular en que se dio y que, hasta este rescate, lo había marcado para el olvido o para el soslayo.

The Silva family is pioneer and a role model within the community; it shows values and the goal to not let the candombe tradition fade away. Not only do they have an internal hierarchy, but also in his neighbourhood, Waldemar “Cachila” Silva is a respected leader. Cachila decide to pass on his legacy to his sons Matias and Wellington, who should now lead the family business, afro descendants playing candombe, a drum rhythm for the carnival contest and keep the privilege place obtained by the family. Patriarchy, hierarchy and cultural traditions are the concepts that drive this documentary about the life of a man of African descent and a dysfunctional family trying to perpetuate its power, which is crucial for the future of a culture.
