Plot synopsis
1942. Nikolai Ranevich, a goalkeeper and star of Dynamo Kiev, loses the most precious things in life: his freedom, his beloved Anna, and the opportunity to play football. Anna saves Nikolai from captivity, but now they cannot be together... Then the Germans organise a football championship between local teams and the Wehrmacht team. Ranevich gathers his friends and once again goes onto the pitch to play for honour, love, and the motherland!
