An intimate account of Brazil's 1970 World Cup winning captain Carlos Alberto Torres, his son and his grandson - and how their lives reflect the changes in Brazilian society over the last 50 years and project into Brazil's future. From one man's life transformed by soccer success to a son playing in the shadow of a legend, then onto the next generation: raised in Japan, educated in England and building a career far from the soccer field as a business entrepreneur in the new dynamic Brazilian economy. Kissing the Cup is the remarkable journey of one family - and one nation.
