Marco’s story is the story of a man who has become a hero in a totally unconventional way. A professional who had to recover from numerous defeats before feeling like a “child at the amusement park”, as he himself tells us in an interview. Here we are not telling a success story, or the rise of an athlete whose greatness was recognized at an early age, but the story of a man who, despite many failures, with sweat, fatigue and sacrifice persevered to achieve his goals, and now that he’s finally got what he’s always worked for, he finds himself facing a showdown. This time, however, he is not alone. His story and that of Hungarian football culture, in fact, run parallel: both managed to rise from a state of defeat and mistrust to gain dignity and respect in the eyes of the world. The aim of the documentary, through the character of Marco Rossi, is to show how football and sport can be fundamental for the rebirth of a country as much as of a person, and how the hero is not only the one who raises trophies, but the one who is able to get back up after a defeat.
