But when the dog dies unexpectedly, they are left with a huge debt. To pay it off, Martin—hiding the truth from his father who despises football—enters a prize-money tournament. With his outstanding talent, he leads his team to victory. At that moment, scout Ange invites him to try out for a club in the capital.

Falma himself once had his World Cup dreams shattered by injury. In the final World Cup qualifier game where their team is on brink of defeat; Martin comes off bench and weaves past several defenders equalizing score then seals victory with breathtaking bicycle kick securing place in national squad not only transforming own fate but also fulfills Falma’s thirty-year-old dream of playing at World cup.
