Synopsis

In a small Transylvanian village, the postman, the bartender, the chief of police, a few high school students and other locals play football for the 5th league team Vulturul Țaga. Despite their enthusiasm, they have not won a single match in a very long time. The film follows the team throughout one season – at a championship in Romania and during an international tournament in Slovakia – using football as a cover to discover both the life stories of people, their personal hopes and failures, as well as the story of a rural community trapped in a small, anonymous and hopeless world.
