The Game (2008)
The film takes place at the training base of the Russian national team. The eyes of the whole country are riveted to this place, our players train here in the remaining few days before the match. All those who help them win work here: coaches, administrators, doctors, watchmen and even cleaners. The fate of the decisive match depends on these people. All of them are selflessly devoted to football.
