Twenty-five years ago, in a small fishing village in Iceland (population: 369), one man built a football pitch at the foot of a volcano, dreaming of a home game in the FA cup. The team was dealt an away fixture and lost 10-0. Nobody ever set foot on the home pitch. Twenty-five years later, a boy resurrects his father dream -- to play a home game in the cup and lose by fewer than ten goals.

Tim Grierson Screen International The stakes are low and there are no villains in sight, resulting in a pleasant picture offering feel-good comforts. Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Even non-football fans are likely to find themselves won over almost immediately by this tale of one team’s determination against the odds. Rated: 4/5 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Elena Lazic Cineuropa Although the project is led by an infectious can-do spirit, it isn’t without some awkwardness, which the filmmakers thankfully choose not to conceal: seeing this [group] overcome whatever shame or shyness they might feel is genuinely inspiring.
