The film explores the memories of Antônio Jesuíno da Silva, known as Piolho, considered by many to be the greatest soccer player in the history of Vitória da Conquista. Between archives and memories, the documentary portrays the life of this important soccer figure in the interior of Bahia.

The film visits people, elements, spaces, and memories of the Boquira Mining. The reckless extractive exploration dug tunnels in search of iron ore, between the late 1950s and 1992. This contradictory practice put the small town in the interior of Bahia on the Brazilian socio-economic map, with one of the largest lead reserves in the country, in the 1970s. One of the consequences is a gray mountain of tailings that contrasts with a history of joys, good memories, and accidents.

A photographer, a championship, a passion. Black and white documentary that synthesizes, through sounds and images, the trajectory of Zanata, a man who dedicates his life to recording moments of football games. The narrative consists of fragments in which the character photographs games from a championship in the countryside in the interior of Bahia.
