简介:约瑟夫、蒂纳什、马夫林和帕顿是津巴布韦人离开经济重创的祖国,前往他乡寻求更美好生活的浪潮中的一员。历经艰辛,他们抵达南非,最终在餐厅找到工作,对葡萄酒的精妙之处产生了兴趣,成为侍酒师,彼此相识、建立联系,并被鼓励组建首支津巴布韦队,参加世界葡萄酒盲品锦标赛——葡萄酒界的奥运会。《盲目的野心》记录了他们雄心勃勃的人生历程,最终在这项每年在法国举行的、主要由西欧队伍组成的比赛中脱颖而出。参赛者必须品尝十二种不同的葡萄酒,并猜出它们的产国、酒庄和年份——这对任何酿酒师来说都是一项挑战。他们的品酒技巧让他们走得很远,但正是他们对祖国的热爱,以及父母、祖父母和留守在家乡的孩子们的鼓励和评论,才是他们前进的动力和支柱。《盲目的野心》是巴克斯会赞同的奥运故事,它鼓舞人心,坚定地讲述了四个坚定的男子面对激烈的竞争,拥有超越赢得奖牌的坚定愿景和使命的故事。
