Storyline Based on the book by famous sport journalist, Vladimir Stankovic, dramatized by renowned screenplay writers Srdjan Dragojevic and Ranko Bozic under the first-time director's palette of actor Dragan Bjelogrlic, this historical melodrama gives us an unique and somewhat nostalgic view into the 1930's of Belgrade and resurrects the old times reminding us of a quite distinctive era when values and virtues were something very different from what they are today.

Dreaming is complicated, living a vision is more simple
Rating: 10/10
If you never have a vision bigger then yourself, you shouldn't watch
this movie, because it may looks too romantic, too limited for you. If
the present time and its rate is the maximum of your wishes, then you
shouldn't watch it. If you are too concerned about a connotations it
could contains, for the sake of your prejudices, please, do not watch
this film. This is not a story about one country/people or more, about
politics, or any other little things mentioned in this movie. It's
about a team, about living a dream of eleven and more of them, in the
time when the sport was only a game. Before I watched it I was sad and
confused, after the movie I was inspired and ready for tomorrow, what
ever that means...
