Boys and girls of all colors, on the field, without discriminations of any kind. A story about friendship and the unifying power of sports.
Street football is perhaps the most genuine team sport in the world, played at all latitudes, by people from all social backgrounds, based on little equipment and lots of willpower.
Matteo and his team, consisting of Diomede, Artemisia and the Hardwin twins, are playing a match in the Fut Rua championship, when the match’s outcome is put at risk by a series of unsporting behaviors by Artemisia – which are no news at all.
But what happens when a new talented player joins the team? Will the group of friends manage to stick together?
