Synopsis

At the beginning of the twentieth century, enthusiastic sportsman Jason gathers a group of friends in the port city of Poti and forms the first Georgian football team. Despite having little experience or equipment, the players train tirelessly and gradually begin winning matches. Told with warmth and humour, the film is a celebration of friendship, community, the love of football, and the courage required to take the first step towards an ambitious dream.
