Garrincha is a tiny bird who loves freedom. When deprived of its freedom, it will choose to die, rather than face a life of captivity. The heat lies like a blanket over Montreal, and a match is in full swing on the block’s football pitch. Kevin, known as Garrincha on the football pitch, rejoins his old mates after a period of absence. But Kevin’s past catches up with him and the match is cut short.
