Synopsis
A series of intimate portraits of football aficionados from a variety of regions and social layers in Brazil: the «fanáticos ». With a strong sense of humour and empathy, these portraits depict those who shape the profound soul of the « futebol » myth on a daily basis. Between the lines, the viewer will also be given a look at an unfamiliar Brazil and shown a colourful portrait of Brazilian society and its incredibly sentimental attachment to football.
Fanáticos presents itself as a series of 3-minute capsules which has been broadcast during the world cup 2014 on RTBF, CANVAS and the website of the daily newspaper De Morgen.
