Against the backdrop of a turbulent era in Brazil, this documentary captures Pelé's extraordinary path from breakthrough talent to national hero. Mixing rare archival footage and exclusive interviews, this documentary celebrates the legendary Brazilian footballer who personified football as art.

Based on the life of the player Afonsinho, who was banned from playing football for growing his beard and hair and refusing to cut them. Fighting for his rights, the player managed to become the owner of his own transfer rights, that is, he obtained a "free transfer". From this incident, the film examines labor relations in Brazilian football.
