Plot Summary

In 1970, near the World Cup, Daniel Stern and his wife Miriam leaves Belo Horizonte in a hurry and scared with their ten years old son Mauro in their Volkswagen. While traveling to São Paulo, the couple explains Mauro that they will travel on vacation and will leave Mauro with his grandfather Mótel. Daniel promises to return before the first game of the Brazilian National Soccer Team in the Cup. The boy is left in Bom Retiro, a Jewish and Italian neighborhood, and waits for Mótel in front of his apartment. When the next door neighbor Shlomo arrives, he tells the boy that Mótel had just had a heart attack and died. Alone and without knowing where his parents are, the boy is lodged by Shlomo and the Jewish community. Through the young neighbor Hanna, Mauro makes new friends, cheers for the Brazilian team and sees the movement of the police and militaries on the streets while waiting for his parents. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Goofs When Mauro arrives in São Paulo, he looks out to the car window noticing the tall buildings - the known Banespa Tower (now Farol Santander) and the Marchetti building, located in the city's downtown. Not only it's a shot on reverse but completely unpractical to the place he and his parents were going - Bom Retiro is located below downtown - and the particular area they were going, shot from right to the left, is completely off traffic since it's an one-way street that only moves from left to right.
