Young Christian Ferro is a born striker and the pride of A.S. Roma. The cosseted soccer star is always up for anything, but the excesses in the celebrity’s private life are starting to jeopardize a promising career. A radical decision from the club president isn’t long in coming, and Valerio, a personal tutor, appears on the scene with a seemingly impossible task.

The feature debut from Leonardo D’Agostini goes behind the scenes of one of the best loved football clubs and presents an intelligent comedy about friendship.
