The documentary film follows the life of Carlos "Kaiser" Henrique Raposo, a Brazilian man who managed a truly impressive feat: he maintained a career as a professional footballer for almost two decades, despite never actually playing a single game. Kaiser's secret to his miraculous career lay in his power of persuasion; he convinced those around him that he was a highly skilled footballer, earning him contracts with some of the biggest clubs in Brazil and Europe.
To maintain his charade, Kaiser relied on the help of journalist friends who would provide fake scouting reports and praise his abilities in interviews. He also became a master at feigning injuries, sometimes even going as far as to bribe doctors to provide bogus medical reports so he could avoid playing.
Instead of playing football, Kaiser spent his days partying and living the high life, often hanging out with celebrities and even dating top models. However, his luck eventually ran out, and he was exposed as a fraud by one of his teammates.
Despite never playing a game, Kaiser amassed a legion of fans and became a folk hero in Brazil for his audacity and cunning. The documentary film chronicles his fascinating journey and sheds light on what it takes to maintain a successful career in football, even without possessing any actual talent.
