Synopsis
The life and the career of the football player Eduardo Gonçalves de Andrade, known as Tostão: the qualification for the 1970 World Cup, his daily life in Belo Horizonte, the operation in his left eye, in Houston. Eight cameras are employed to capture the action of this dynamic athlete as he leads the Cruzeiro team on to victory, while images from the matches against Venezuela, Mexico and Paraguay in the 1970 World Cup are shown too. The beginning of his career are narrated through interviews with relatives, coaches, players and Tostão himself.
