Plot synopsis
1914. The endless conflicts in Serbia take on a new quality. The long-expected world war breaks out. Serbia would not have dared enter the war had it not been for the alliance with the powerful Russia. Meanwhile Petersburg is about to become Petrograd, its artistic elite lives in the Silver Age, not the 20th century, and two football players ñ the brothers Andrei and Nikolai dream of building their own stadium and playing in the top league. The brothers would have become the best football players in the world, but the world had other things to take care of besides football.
