Plots(1)

A humourous story about soccer that rather resembles a tough fight than a sport game. The end -- the victory -- justifies the means. The film is shot using a rare method of pixilation, i.e. the animation of human actors. This technique is then combined with clay animation and the use of archive documentary shots.
