The film follows Seu Manuel, known as Mané, a barber by trade and a resident of Vila Maria Zélia in São Paulo. A fanatical Corinthians supporter, the character experiences conflicts with his children and with his Italian neighbors, who support Palmeiras, the main rival of the black-and-white club.

In the plot, Mané’s passion for Corinthians directly interferes with his routine and with his family and neighborhood relationships. Amid arguments sparked by football rivalry, the protagonist also clashes with his own daughter, who dreams of pursuing a career as a ballerina. The storyline uses Mazzaropi’s trademark humor to portray customs, social relationships, and the influence of football on the characters’ daily lives.

In addition to Amácio Mazzaropi, the cast includes Lucia Lambertini, Elizabeth Marinho, Nicolau Guzzardi, Roberto Pirillo, and Leonor Pacheco.

Released in 1966, O Corintiano became one of the most emblematic productions of Mazzaropi’s relationship with football and, especially, with Timão. The work combines elements of comedy, situations involving passion for the club, and portrays the rivalry between Corinthians and Palmeiras from the perspective of a fanatical supporter.

The Cineclube session will be held at Memorial Corinthians, at Parque São Jorge, with free admission. As spots are limited, it is necessary to register in advance through the form provided by the club’s Cultural Department. To register, click HERE.
