Two best friends spend an afternoon on a football field, dreaming of making it onto the local team. But dreams come with a price; when a group of older boys interrupts their game, one of them sees it as an opportunity to prove himself, while the other one senses something more sinister is at play.

Rok Biček
Rok Biček was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, in 1985. Class Enemy, his feature debut, won the Fedeora Award at the Venice Critics’ Week (2013) and was a finalist of the LUX Prize, while the documentary The Family won the Grand Prix at the Locarno Critics’ Week (2017). His work revealed rare confidence, backed up by a clear aesthetic favoring one-shot sequences, specific color schemes, and dramatic subjects narrated in an almost low-key, off-hand, but always controlled style. He plays with the potential danger lurking in small, everyday details. Rok is now working on the film adaptation of the novel Dark Mother Earth.
