Plot summary

"A life or death journey through the modern soccer industry. With pitch-black humour and a unique view of the world of sports, in his second feature-length film as director, Ronnie Sandahl looks at the true story of how 16-year-old soccer talent Martin Bengtsson was sold to a major Italian club – a childhood dream that turned into a chilling nightmare. A coming-of-age story about a young man’s passionate obsession in a world where anything and anyone has a price." (the production company's synopsis)

Classification Allowed from age 11
Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av uppslitande och oroväckande stämning, en berusad man som klättrar upp i en byggställning, en man som masturberar inför sina vänner, en man som sliter ut sin tandställning med en sax så det blöder, en man som blir påkörd av en lastbil samt en ångestfylld man på sjukhus vilket kan medföra stark rädsla och oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 11 år.
