Written by Csaba M Kiss, Klara Muhi and Peter Huszar, the film is an ethno-tale with plenty of humour and tears. The chaos begins in the remote village of Acsa, where the local mayor has been urged by the new, young priest to allow the Gypsy football team, called the Brazilians, to enter the local football cup. This year, the winning team is invited to Rio de Janeiro, thanks to funding from a local millionaire. The championship begins. Events, emotions and anger take the story in all kinds of unpredictable directions, until those who finally win shouldn’t actually be the winners, and those who find love shouldn’t be together...

Produced by Monika Mecs and Erno Mesterhazy for M&M Film (which recently co-produced Szabolcs Hajdu’s Mirage [+see also:
