1. O Drible
A middle-aged man is drawn back into the orbit of his estranged, once-celebrated soccer columnist father, who seeks redemption late in life. Through vivid reminiscences of the country’s football golden age and a mesmerizing tale of an elusive, possibly invented dribble, the father blurs the boundary between memory and fabrication. As old wounds resurface, the son confronts the seductions and betrayals of these stories, uncovering how charm and deceit shaped their bond. It’s a taut meditation on paternity, identity, and the myths of the beautiful game.
