Synopsis

The rise and fall of a corrupt referee. The timeless clash between two rival teams at the bottom of the rankings. The bedlam unleashed by the third tier of the football pyramid. Atletico Bonacattu, the most god-awful team in Sardinia, is humiliated once again this year by Sant´Andria, coached by Brai, the haughty wheeler-dealer used to hassling the peons of Atletico since he rules the roost. But the homecoming of the young emigrant Matzutzi, recruited to play for Atletico Bonaccattu, upsets the apple cart for the season. The story of the two teams alternates with that of the spectacular rise of Cruciani, an ambitious referee who shoots to the highest levels on the international scene, only to get an unpleasant surprise...For the birthday of Venice Days, a rising Italian filmmaker´s first film celebrates the event with an auteur comedy that surreally crystallises all the virtues and vices of our world.
