DRIBBLING FATE

Having given up the chance to escape Cape Verde and become a football star as goalkeeper in Portugal decades ago, 50-years-old Mané spends his days in his tiny bar where the omnipresent topic of conversation is football!
One day Mané takes his wife's savings and books a flight to Lisbon. Planning to see the big Benfica game, seeks an old friend and takes care of some business. He believes the trip will make his dreams come true.
