    Maria Vitória is a teenager living in a small village in Serra da Estrela who plays football in the local boys' youth team. After her talent is recognized on a television show, Maria becomes a phenomenon in her community. Pursuing her dream of a professional career, Maria dedicates all her free time to rigorous training with her father, Nacho. Maria and Nacho's routine is disrupted by the unexpected return of Bruno, her older brother who left ten years earlier following a tragic fire that claimed their mother's life. As she focuses on preparing for the most important match of her career, Maria, through Bruno's presence, begins to question her father's behavior and the oppressive atmosphere that governs her life in the community, seeking ways to free herself and take control of her future.
