Synopsis

A chronicle of the 22-year career of football star Roberto Baggio (Andrea Arcangeli), that includes his relationship with family members, his turbulent debut as a player and differences with some of his coaches, between successes, injuries, and his discovery of Buddhism. The film begins with a young Baggio dreaming to win the FIFA World Cup with Italy against Brazil, to revenge the 1970 final. The most significant moment of Baggio's career is the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where he almost single-handedly carries his team to the final, against Brazil. Baggio has the occasion to lift the World Cup trophy also taking the long dreamed revenge. Unfortunately, the match is decided on a Penalty shoot-out, and Baggio himself fails the last penalty, handing the trophy to Brazil. In 2002, he hopes to participate to the World Cup, but a serious injury towards the end of the Serie A season seems to nullify his hopes. Instead, he returns to football only 77 days from the injury. However, the head coach of the national team, Giovanni Trapattoni, controversially decides not to call him up. The film ends with Baggio supported of his family and friends, as well as in the love of the fans who have accompanied him throughout his career.
