'Mata Mata' is the Brazilian term for a 'knockout match': a win-or-go-home battle, do or die and sometimes also a metaphor for life. The Film 'Mata Mata' is the never before told story of the ups and downs in becoming a football superstar.

Mata Mata is the story about true life of sons, families and an intimate portrait through all levels of society in the world of football business. The chronicle unfolds and focuses on closely to follow Brazilian football players ranging in age from 11 to 29 all in unique stages of their career.—Jens Hoffmann
