The story takes place in Brazil in 1970 when the World Cup is just around the corner and on everyone’s mind, particularly that of young Mauro (Michel Joelsas). His parents have greater concerns which stem from their political activities, but do what they can to shield their son from knowing this. Feeling the heat they decide to lie low for a bit, leaving their son with his grandfather and reminding him to tell anyone who asks that they’re “on vacation.” They drop the boy off and leave, not realizing that since contacting the grandfather he’s suffered a heart attack and died. Mauro waits patiently outside his grandfather's door until finally Schlomo (Germano Haiut), the next door neighbour, comes home and takes him in.
