Synopsis
Concrete courts in Brazil, alleys in Trinidad, and streets in England serve as backdrops for informal soccer games. Players engage in pick-up soccer, known as "taking a sweat" in Trinidad and "having a kick-about" in England. The film focuses on the Brazilian term "pelada," which means "naked," representing the game in its simplest form. It captures the joy of soccer played without professional constraints, accessible to anyone regardless of skill level. The documentary runs for 90 minutes and was directed by Ryan White.
