Thanks to long years of patient hard work, moving in the shadowlands of the history of football and of the 20th Century, hovering between the rigorous style of a documentary and the spirit of cinema, the film narrates the events which took place during the 1942 World Cup, which was never recognised by the official sport bodies and which for years remained wrapped in legend without anyone knowing who the winner was. “We have recontructed the mosaic of a choral story which lightly combines the frontier world of 1940s Patagonia, the tension of a sport story, a mixture of characters moved by big passions and disproportionate dreams. An anarchical and naive epic which assumes comical tones, playing on the chemical reaction between the rigour of documentary forms with which the events are presented and the somewhat surreal nature of events where memory fades into legend.” (Lorenzo Garzella e Filippo Macelloni)

LORENZO GARZELLA (Pisa, 1972) has directed documentaries and short films and created video intallations, gaining recognistion in Italy and abroad. From 2002 he collaborated with among others Rai and RCS producing formatTV and collane homevideo. Apart from documentaries with a historical and social theme, he has directed several works on the history of football, among which LA MIA SQUADRA - MARCELLO LIPPI RACCONTA I MONDIALI 2006 (Raiuno), and GERMANY 2006, a film montage of the German World Cup.

FILIPPO MACELLONI (Florence, 1965) has directed several documentaries, shorts, music videos, Home Video clips, promotional, institutional and social videos for the main Italian TV channels and editorial houses. He has worked in film, as an assistant director for authors such as Roberto Faenza, Dario Argento and Maurizio Sciarra. He has also directed several videos and architecture video installations shown in Rome, Milan, at the Venice Biennale, Bologna, Amsterdam and Tokio. In 2011 he directed the montage SILVIO FOREVER with Roberto Faenza.
