FOOTBALL BROTHERS shows a story of two teenage brothers’ struggle to get to renowned football teams. They live in a small village in the South of Poland and reached the top of possibilities in a local team. Now the next big step awaits them. But if they would be chosen, they should move from their home and start living in another cities. They cannot apply to the same team, so they would be completely on their own.
