Batan is the goalkeeper of the Zanatlije football club. Their opponent for the big game is top-ranked local rival Porijecani. The atmosphere is intense and everyone thinks any silly move on the field is a life-or-death event. But Batan, despite 10 years on the field, doesn’t find winning all that important. He’s into the great food, wine, and parties. Unfortunately for his team, the outcome of the game is in his hands. So who’s gonna win?
