Meet the world's (possibly) best football player. Cristiano Ronaldo is loved by millions, and misunderstood by almost as many. The 30-year-old global superstar has won the prestigious Golden Ball award two years in a row, and is a spectacular personality, who divides opinions. For the first time ever, a film crew is allowed to come up close to Cristiano Ronaldo, and through intimate interviews and effervescent archive material we are told the story of how the small boy from Santo Antonio became a true football monster. At the same time, the film follows the Portuguese superstar at the top of his career during a year, when he competes in all the major tournaments from La Liga via the Champions' League to the World Cup in Brazil.
