Synopsis
The life of these people was real hell: they were bullied, manipulated, betrayed by the closest family. Society tried to lock them behind high walls of special institutions and to forget about them. They had no hope. No right to the future. Everything changed when sports broke into their lives and opened up for them a new world full of thrilling possibilities. But is the world ready to accept them?.. This film is about the test of the ability to love, feel compassion, forgive and believe.
