Watch the trailer

In 1930 Belgrade, a ragtag group of street and club footballers are pulled together to represent Yugoslavia at the very first World Cup in Montevideo. The film follows their rivalries, romances, and money troubles as they chase a spot on the boat to Uruguay. It is a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing origin story of an underdog national team.

Why we picked it
