Synopsis
A David & Goliath story of the Polish freedom movement told through the events of the football World Cup in Spain in 1982. Through rich, exclusive archival material, 3D animated photography, animated illustrations and interviews, are presented the experiences of the key players in the Polish football team, interlaced with accounts of the jailed members of the Solidarity movement, following the games on a TV screen. The football games and the political struggles culminate in the important victory against the Soviet Union.
