National coach Richard Møller Nielsen (Ulrich Thomsen) is fighting an unequal battle with a divided team that refuses to play according to his tactics. No one understands what he wants, neither the players nor the press – only his wife Jonna understands him. He is the most reviled man in Denmark, and things are looking bleak. But in the summer of ’92 Richard gets an unexpected chance, and suddenly the team is on its way to the European Championship in Sweden. Internal conflicts, disagreements and personal challenges come with the baggage, but Richard is convinced that together they can do the impossible.
