Bill Seretis is a twenty years old uneducated, penniless man and his strong legs and talent as a soccer player are all he has going for him. With these assets he wants to conquer the soccer fields, to capture the colorful headlines of the sports papers, and to have himself crowned king on Sundays. After a two-year stint on dirt soccer fields, cheap hotels, "thrown" games, the loneliness of the countryside and hasty affairs with women of every sort, the dream comes true at a major Athens team. However, as soon as he touches it the dream vanishes. The soccer establishment and the vested interests of special groups crush Bill.

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
