Storyline

Last year an unusual football club started playing in the lowest Czech football league - the club TJ Junior Roma is composed mainly of Romani players. Even if every football fan knows the UEFA campaign Say No To Racism, there are still places where not all the players are considered equal on the football field. As the Roma minority is highly unpopular in the Czech Republic, players of other teams from the league refused to play with the Roma team resulting in a paradoxical situation – TJ Roma has been winning most of the matches by default. Full of gentle humor, our movie will portray the story of this football club framed by a strange football season, in which a team, that had barely gotten to kick the ball, has almost won the league.

Tomáš Bojar studied political philosophy and law at Charles University. He has been producing cinematic works for over a decade, first as a scriptwriter and script editor, later also as a director and producer (company Cinema Arsenal). Together with Pavel Abrahám he created the films „Czech RAPublic“ (Česká RAPublika) and „Two: Zero“(Dva nula).

Rozálie Kohoutová studied the Documentary Film Department at FAMU. She received several awards for „Roma Boys“, her first film. She successfully completed her studies at FAMU with the film „Kytlice, Zimmer frei“.
