Violence and fighting with rival fans are the bread and butter of football hooligans. In this animated film, the hero is a diehard fan of a Dutch football club. He has been arrested many times for rioting at football matches. He and his friends love shouting hateful slurs in the stadium and calling the opponents "fagots". Paradoxically, however, he himself is gay but he carefully hides his sexual orientation to avoid becoming the target of attacks from his "friends". (One World)
