A woman finds herself facing a situation where a strong desire would cause her to change her entire life. This and Ana Thereza's other personal questions serve as a starting point for addressing the main object of this documentary: desire. Not only in the denotative sense of the word, but, above all, by its forms and possibilities of growth, ascension and, moreover, in what way is it capable of building itself from idealization and subjectivity.
Directed by Martin Ainstein as part of the "Destino Futebol" series, the documentary, produced by ESPN Films, tells the moving story of former player and doctor Sócrates, who passed away on December 4, 2011. The documentary features testimonies from members of the former Corinthians player's family, including his brothers, among them the former player Raí, his mother, and his son Gustavo. Journalists Juca Kfouri, José Trajano, and Xico Sá are also interviewed, as well as musician Toquinho and former Corinthians and Brazilian national team teammates such as Zico and Wladimir. The production showcases Sócrates' time studying medicine in Ribeirão, his journey through the teams Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto, Corinthians, Fiorentina, Flamengo, and, of course, the national team. It's a great story told by people who knew the idol, remembering key moments of Sócrates' career as a doctor, player, musician, and writer.
