Synopsis
Irina Brook imagined a wonderfully original project to prove the universality of Shakespeare: young players from the OGC Nice football team took on the challenge of choosing excerpts from the Bards greatest plays and speaking them to camera. The result is a deeply moving transition from stadium to stage .We see a new facet of these brilliant young sportsmen, sensitively playing this time with the power of words revealing their hidden depths and humanity thanks to the eternal magic of Shakespeare.
