Chuteiras penduradas: o fim de um sonho.

Abstract

The documentary “Hanging Boots, the End of a Dream” addresses the numerous barriers faced by athletes in pursuit of their dream of building a solid career in national and even international soccer. Talent with the ball at one’s feet is necessary, but not enough to achieve success in the sport. Factors such as the need for a good manager, luck, psychological preparation and the ability to deal with precarious environments contribute to many dreams remaining only in the imagination of young prospects. In this work, we address the concept of dream from Bloch’s perspective and frustration according to psychology. The methodology applied involves bibliographical research, character research, in-depth interviews and the development of an audiovisual script. As a result, we show in this work that Brazilian soccer is full of lost dreams and also portrays great social inequality. The race for glory is unfair and disloyal
