João Máximo

Zizinho was one of the best Brazilian football players ever and arguably the very best until the 1950's. His birth completed a century and this documentary celebrates it.

The life of Brazilian soccer player, Garrincha, considered to be one of the greatest players of all time, with his uniquely original style. He had arched legs, a passion for women and booze. Also had a much talked extramarital affair with singer Elza Soares and died in relative decadence. The movie focuses on his zenith, from 1953 until the World Championship and the Rio Regional Championship, in 1962.

The story of a man who invented a country.
