short version

The Portuguese soccer star Diamantino is the epitome of superficiality. One day while strutting on his yacht, he discovers a boat carrying migrants in danger. Suddenly he realizes that the world is not that rosy and that annoys him deeply. After being ridiculed in the World Cup final, he decides to adopt a young migrant to help him. Little does he know, however, that his two wicked sisters have other plans for him, and that the young migrant in question is actually an undercover cop investigating a tax evasion case.
