Our take

A football fairy tale for the 21st century and madcap adventure that’s the perfect antidote to an even madder world. This warm, big-hearted fantasy delights in causing trouble and mixing its cultural references, while satirizing corruption, celebrity, and greed. You won’t have seen anything like it!
