In 1922, in the fishing neighborhood Beira-Mar (By The Sea) in Aveiro, a bunch of youngsters decide to start a sports club. Throughout 100 years of history, this local club rises to the highest glories of Portuguese Football and establishes itself as one of the most eclectic, until circumstances abruptly send it tumbling down to the lowest ranks of regional football, forcing it to start all over again. Through glories, dark years and the present, a portrait is made of the yellow and black city of Aveiro.
