He populated a vast territory, which he traveled nomadicly, from the interior of Minas Gerais and Bahia, to the Atlantic. Today, the Maxakali Indians number around 1,200 people who live in Minas Gerais, in a small territory, between the cities of Santa Helena and Bertópolis. They live under a shadow of poverty widely publicized in newspapers and on television.

In a conversation between two generations of soccer fans, stories about the two World Cups that took place in Belo Horizonte are told. It was there that one of the biggest upsets in the history of soccer happened, England's defeat to the USA in 1950. A match in which the English believed they had already won, even before playing. The same thing happened with Brazil, in the sad match against Uruguay, which resulted in the "Maracanazo". In BH, 64 years later, an unprepared team believes it can beat Germany. Unprecedented scenes of a group of fans echo the perplexity that crossed the country during the 7-1 defeat of the Germans over the Brazilians, which led to the "Mineirazo".
