헥터 바벤코는 아르헨티나 출신이지만 브라질에서 주로 활동한 감독으로, 지난 2016년 사망했다. 이 다큐멘터리는 죽음을 직감한 바벤코가 아내이자 영화적 동반자인 바르바라 파스에게 연출을 부탁해 만든 것으로, 그의 모든 것을 담고 있다. 암 투병을 하면서 맞이했던 마지막 날들의 고통스러운 기록이 뼈대를 이루고, 그가 만든 영화에 관한 회고, 그와 함께했던 동지들에 대한 기억, 그리고 죽음에 대한 생각 등이 어우러진다. 이 영화는 한 감독의 일대기이자 한 인간의 상념을 기록한 유언장이며, 자신의 죽음에 관한 영화를 기획한 제작자의 마지막 걸작이다.

José Henrique Fonseca crafts an ambitious and long overdue homage to a central icon in Brazil’s 20th century history. Reminiscent of film noir classics, the biopic tells the glorious and tragic story of the legendary football striker Heleno de Freitas. The sumptuous black and white cinematography reflects the chic life of Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s as it fell under the spell of sports royalty. Heleno was no doubt one of the most popular players of his time for his bravura in the field and magnificent goal-scoring that lead the Botafogo team to the top and himself into a vicious downward spiral.

His business is facing some serious problems with the competition of a big company, whose products are full of artifical and dangerous flavors and colorants. Didi tries to warn the kids of the danger, but they don't believe him, since he's an adult. He prays to his saints of devotion, St. Cosmas and St. Damian, for a solution. Some other day, he gives shelter to two poor men who, in return, give him some magical candies. After eating them, he turns into a kid and tries again to talk to the other children, who now take him seriously, since he has become one of them.
