Martin is one of the most promising football talents Sweden has ever seen. At sixteen, his lifelong dream comes true when he is bought by one of Italy’s most prestigious clubs. Yet that dream comes at a very high price in terms of sacrifice, dedication, pressure and - most of all - loneliness. Martin begins to question whether this is actually the life he yearned for.

It gets off to a fabulous start, Sandahl's contact and intimate approach worked in the gem Borg vs. McEnroe, and even here he offers a surprisingly personal take on a professional sport. Unfortunately, the final third spins the emotions around a pole rather than a field, and it's repetitive, lacking greater focus and any real impactful scenes. ()
