Jules and Dolores
Writer
El 19 de diciembre de 1983 se le quitó el sueño. El trofeo más codiciado de todos los tiempos, la Copa Jules Rimet desapareció de la sede de CBF, la Asociación Brasileña de Fútbol. Déjame explicarte: cada 4 años la FIFA celebra un Mundial de Fútbol. En aquel entonces, solo un país que ganó la Copa tres veces podía quedarse con el trofeo para siempre. Este privilegio estaba reservado a Brasil cuando ganó por tercera vez en 1970. El hermoso trofeo se mantuvo como símbolo de superioridad en la sede de CBF, en Río de Janeiro. “Jules and Dolores” es una comedia pop que nos cuenta la historia real, absurda e inusual detrás de este robo.
