The film is the over-common young "underdog" sets out on life journey to become a great sports-person story. As un-original as the plot is, it still has its moments in this rags to riches football tale. Based around the 12 year-old boy,Bandian who sets out to be Africa's greatest football player. The film crosses the boundary of ethics when the future of the boy is debated by his elders. One has the money-making ideals to send the boy to Europe where the big league is, the other, to keep the boy in Africa to represent the continent. Overall, well done spin on a common story
