The life of the 11-year-old protagonist revolves around football. The boy has a T-shirt with the name of his favourite footballer on it, meticulously collects stickers of world-famous teams and uses every moment to play with his mates on the pitch. The routine is interrupted by the unexpected death of a neighbour and a funeral ceremony attended by the family from abroad. Among the relatives, there is also a girl with dark, long hair. Suddenly, the boy can’t take his eyes off her... Have his mates noticed it, too?
