The life of Brazilian soccer player Garrincha, considered to be one of the greatest players of all time, with his uniquely original style. He had arched legs and passions for women and booze; he had a much-discussed extramarital affair with singer Elza Soares, and he died in relative decadence. The film focuses on his zenith, from 1953 until the World Championship and the Rio Regional Championship in 1962.
