Sinopse
Without any certainty about his birth, Sylvester grows up hidden from the community where the woman who took custody of him live, until, on one of the rare exits from the family home, he is noticed by a baseball coach. His talent is such that many are working to regularize his documents and allow him to attend schools that will increase his sporting abilities without, however, worrying about his education. Sylvester, who excels in basketball, is a potential economic asset for many and will be one of the pieces of a billion-dollar business that will lead him to be chosen early in the 1988 draft by the Miami Heat. Alienated from the protagonism of NBA players, he plays in different leagues and countries, until arriving in Italy, where he builds a successful career, but the years pass, his sporting parable becomes descendant and his family, which has always lived on his earnings, turns their back on him. Without family relationships, without a job, without a residence permit, but free from all constraints, Sylvester sets out in search of his primordial roots. Thus began for him a second life of study. Through the written word, experienced since childhood as a difficulty, Sylvester manages to place himself in a broader context, that of a people.
