Piede di Dio

The story

Elia plays soccer on the beach and on the dirt fields of a remote village in Sicily, where one day Michele, a talent scout for Serie A, arrives. His target should be some boys from the local soccer school who are shown and recommended to him through more or less legitimate means, but his attention is immediately captured by the innate skill of 18-year-old Elia, who has the mind of a 12-year-old. It is the summer of 2006 when the two meet; Italian soccer is on one hand shaken by the Moggi scandal, and on the other hand exalted by the victory at the World Cup in Germany. The boy’s life could be ready for a change, but so could Michele’s, who despite his professional appearance, is not doing very well.
