Summary: Fintar o destino is the Library of African Cinema’s first sports film — but a sports film with a distinctly African twist. It is the story of the aging sport hero who holds onto his past so strongly he destroys his present. At the same time, this film explores a much broader tension, personal and political, between remaining true to one’s dreams or making the best of the limited opportunities around us
