Synopsis

Part two of the successful football tale from Serbia brings us to the capital of Uruguay. After a long train ride and and exhausting weeks of travelling across the Atlantic Ocean, the newly formed national team of what was then the Kingdom of Yugoslavia arrives at the venue of the FIFA World Cup 1930. Here, the Balkan team is completely unknown and clearly the underdog. Nobody believes the team has any chance. The players have to check into a cheap hotel, and in their very first match, they are to face the stars of the Brazilian national team that was already famous at the time. The unfamiliar surroundings, an abundance of romantic temptations, sly football agents, rivalries between the team members themselves – there is no shortage of distractions. In the end, however, Tirke, Moša and their colleagues do not let any of that get them off track. They are confident, have a vision, trust in their talents, display stamina and enter the stadium with their heads held high – where they actually beat Brazil in the opening match, attracting a lot of attention. Their next opponents are the Colombians. And then ... Will they achieve the impossible? The sequel of the box office hit about one of the most important landmarks in the sports history of Yugoslavia was received very well by the audience. It was even nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
