The film reveals the story of Vinicius Jr, the 24-year-old who faced epic battles both on and off the
field to become the best player in the world and an international icon in the fight against racism. We
delve into Vini’s life weeks before the historic episode of racism that brought global attention to him.
Amidst exciting training sessions and matches for Real Madrid and the Brazilian National Team, we
follow a year of meteoric transformations in the present. We also journey back to the past to explore
his path from a humble childhood in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro to worldwide stardom, from
on-field injuries to transforming his body into a machine at home, from Flamengo’s youth academy
to the biggest transfer deal for a player under 18, from being a victim of racism to a nemesis of
racists. Vini Jr. is the portrait of an athlete who falls and rises with the strength of someone who
could do everything 10 times over if necessary.
