In this world, football is life or death, it’s a religion, a love, an income, a language, it’s the foundation that relationships are built upon, it’s everything.
This film explores the violent transition of identity when our dreams and what defines our lives is ripped away from us.
Moe, a 25 year old professional footballer out of contact and desperately trying to find a club to keep his dream alive, is offered an unmissable opportunity to play in a trial game for a league club. Even though he is carrying an injury and not fully fit he chooses to take the risk and play through the pain because what other choice does he have? During the match Moe suffers a career threatening injury that changes the course of his life. In the aftermath he must grapple with his identity and the somewhat fractured relationship with his father that was built on their love for football and Moe’s career. Moe struggles to accept the circumstances and must confront the death of his dream and himself in many ways, in order to grow and move on.
