Verity unfolds without cuts over the course of a video call between two former lovers who find themselves in very different personal circumstances, as they reconnect after 5 years. The film is set against the backdrop of the global Covid-19 pandemic and it expresses different elements of our shared humanity.
This is the story of a young Mozambican footballer called Eusébio, a gifted athlete destined to great achievements, coveted by rival clubs, Sporting and Benfica, which ends up hiring him. Blackmail, kidnapping attempts, ministers involved, press hysteria and huge money offers make the story of this football transfer into a saga evolving between the two continents. It ends up when the legend begins: with Eusébio’s first match at the Benfica Stadium.
