In a newspaper office, Paul Faustino, South America's top sports journalist, sits opposite the man they call El Gato - "The Cat" - the world's greatest goalkeeper. On the table between them stands the World Cup.In the hours that follow, El Gato tells his incredible life story - how he, a poor logger's son, learns to become a World Cup-winning goalkeeper, so good that he is almost unbeatable. And the most remarkable part of this story is the man who teaches him - the mysterious Keeper, who haunts a football pitch at the heart of the claustrophobic forest.
