revista PLACAR

October 13th, 1977. Sport Club Corinthians Paulista hadn't won a major title in 22 years, 8 months, and 7 days. PLACAR magazine, launched in 1970, was in imminent danger of closing. Winning the Campeonato Paulista was crucial to the survival of both: the team with the second-largest fan base in Brazil and the longest-running sports magazine in Latin America.

For 20 seconds, Raí gazes at the horizon before taking the free kick that would decide the 1992 Intercontinental Cup title between São Paulo and Barcelona. Blending manga, the PLACAR magazine archives, previously unseen VHS footage shot in Tokyo, and exclusive filming in Paris, the movie delves into Raí’s journey toward his world title victory in Japan—a portrait of the past, present, and future.
