Synopsis.
The secret behind Brazilians’ expertise in soccer is the athletes’ ginga. An ability of the body which makes them good at dribbling, passing and making goals as if the other team didn’t exist. But ginga isn’t something that can be taught. It is something mythical, inherent to Brazilians. Ginga is a way of not taking anything too serious, using your feet, heels and thighs during a game and out of it. Various Brazilians, from different social levels and parts of Brazil, relate, in this documentary, their passion and ability in soccer and the importance ginga has in their lives.
