When Leon joins Mario's football club, an immediate tension brews between them; both players are talented, driven and prepared to fight for their spot on the first team. When the pair are moved into a flat with one another, the competitive tension turns sexual. As their relationship intensifies, the pair become inseparable, yet Mario is desperate to hide their love from his teammates. As rumours of their relationship begin to circulate, the boys are forced to make a choice; their careers, or each other.

Reviews

“Gisler’s attention to detail and the winning chemistry between the leads draws you into the story. It’s also a rare big-screen film that mounts football scenes credibly.”
