Estrela Solitária (2020)

Botafogo & The Unsung Heroes

In 1993, amid financial turmoil and the looming threat of extinction, Botafogo, one of Brazil's most historic football clubs, was going through one of the darkest chapters in its history. Deprived of financial resources and with a dismantled roster, the club had no choice but to field inexperienced young players from its youth ranks, many of whom had barely played for the professional team. Leading this discredited team was a prominent figure in Brazilian football: Carlos Alberto Torres, the legendary captain of the 1970 World Cup-winning Brazilian national team. More than just a coach, Torres took on the mission of restoring dignity and fighting spirit to a club on the brink of collapse. His presence became a symbol of leadership, resilience, and confidence in the face of overwhelming uncertainty.

The two skiers stop regularly, here to observe climbers scaling the south face of the Aiguille, there to visit the Cosmiques Laboratory. They even take the time to rescue a skier stuck in a crevasse at the Séracs du Géant, before continuing their descent in style onto the Mer de Glace.
