BRAZILIAN FILM SERIES: Prior to the 1970 World Cup, Daniel and Miriam suddenly leave Belo Horizonte and drive to São Paulo with their ten-year-old son Mauro, where he will stay with his grandfather Mótel while they go on vacation. They promise to be back in time the Brazilian National Soccer Team´s first game. Mauro waits in front of Mótel´s apartment, but when his next-door-neighbor, Shlomo, arrives, he tells the boy that Mótel died suddenly. The bewildered boy is sheltered by Shlomo and the Jewish community, including a young neighbor, Hanna, who helps him make new friends, even as he watches the military police maneuver on the streets while waiting for his parents to return.
