Thirty-year-old Vasco lives in Portugal, where he's scraped by on odd jobs since he was seven. One August night, he runs into Melissa, a former friend he used to carry a torch for, though he never admitted it to her. She now teaches French and runs a co-ed futsal club whose coach, the school's gym teacher, recently quit.
His torch reignited, Vasco puts himself forward for the job. Melissa accepts, for the sake of the kids who had a hard time last season, and need to salvage their reputation for being "bad seeds."
