A filmmaker discovers a treasure and makes a film with the photographs her great-uncle Yoshitomi took, documenting his life from 1933 to 1945, beginning as a young soldier in Japan, through his migration to Peru and his time as a prisoner in Ocumare del Tuy, Venezuela, during World War II. Through these images, the figure of the Dragon emerges, a chimera that, like all migrants, adapts and transforms according to the territories it conquers, merging memory, myth, and reality.

This is the story of the visionary who invented sports marketing. His name was Hans Henningsen. It was 1970 when he proposed to Pelé a publicity move that would change soccer forever. At the Mexico World Cup, Pelé delays the starting whistle of a match to lace up his shoes, cameras capturing the moment and millions of spectators around the world see on TV the exact shoe brand worn by the best player in the world. Maradona and many others would follow, who have had and have an advertising element in their feet of incalculable value.
