    • Synopsis
    • Based on true stories of a juvenile detention center in Tbilisi where two ex-professional rugby players took up the challenge to help these young offenders by bringing rugby into the center. In the film, a young prisoner is instructed by his brother to start a riot inside the center, as it destroys the chances of the other inmates playing their first rugby match, which would lead to more games outside the prison.

      This dilemma between loyalty to his brother and rugby, as an allegory for liberty, makes the young Nika change his mentality, because the riot would make it impossible for the team to win the game, a precondition that will enable the boys a chance to compete outside of prison and a small taste of freedom.
