This is a Shakespearean tale told in the style of a spaghetti western, and played out over 16 years, three continents and five world cups – a tale of rejection, shame, redemption, revenge, glory… and a terrible, slow fall from grace. A prodigy, a genius, a cheat – Diego Maradona has been – and is – all of these things. He’s a complicated man : both hero and villain, madman and genius. In this film, we try to get to grips with Maradona's motivations and multiple personalities - and get inside hos head. How and why did he do what he did. Could Maradona ever be stopped - could he ever explain it himself? The story has five clear acts, and it's classical in structure.
