Director’s note:
When we got to know this soccer team we knew we wanted to tell their story, the project, the people and their passion. Following a team of 50 people who have neither continuity of presence nor of purposes, and during a pandemic, was very complex; going to training without knowing if it will be the last was just exhausting for the protagonists. Although the limited time available, in a historical moment in which the tensions over immigration are increasing, we deem it essential to tell a story of integration and sport in everyday life, in a large metropolitan city like Milan.
