Story

On 15th September 2004, a news report stated: “National team missing – A supposed handball team from Sri Lanka on its way West”. In his directing debut, Uberto Pasolini tells the true story of a group of slum inhabitants from Colombo, who display incredible creativity and undergo great sacrifices to flee a loss of perspective in their homeland. Without any knowledge of handball whatsoever, they pull together as a team. A critique of Western immigration laws, shot in Sri Lanka and Bavaria.
