Flown across the country by Felipe, the determined young boy visits the hometowns of his Brazilian football idols where he discovers how to play football the Brazilian Way.
As Rico prepares for his big day, he goes head-to-head with a football-hating and vengeful bee called Zeze. Although small in nature, Zeze plots a grand and cunning plan to destroy Rico’s dream of becoming a football superstar. Will he succeed?
For any young football fanatic, Road 2 Rio is an adventure you cannot miss!
