Overview
Martin is one of the most promising football talents Sweden has ever seen. At just sixteen, his lifelong dream comes true when he is bought by one of Italy’s most prestigious clubs. Yet the fast cars and huge paycheques come at a damaging price as the vulnerable teenager begins to crack under the intense competition and dedication that the club demands.
Based on the true story of football prodigy Martin Bengtsson, and written and directed by Ronnie Sandahl (writer, Borg vs. McEnroe), the film was Sweden’s submission for the 2022 Academy Awards and shines a spotlight on one of the dark sides of the football industry.
