A Russian football comedy so chaotic, even the TMDB algorithm gave up.
The film takes place at the training base of the Russian national team. The eyes of the whole country are riveted to this place, our players train here in the remaining few days before the match. All those who help them win work here: coaches, administrators, doctors, watchmen and even cleaners. The fate of the decisive match depends on these people. All of them are selflessly devoted to football.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Buldakov's final film role before his death in 2019; he was iconic in Rogozhkin's earlier 'Peculiarities of the National Hunt.'
Released during Russia's 2008 Euro run—actual national team drama overshadowed this fictional mess entirely.
