Storyline

This documentary brings the background story of the historic success of Croatian sport, one of winning the first Olympic gold medal. It was won by handball team at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, USA. It was an entirely non-typical team, which in the eve of the tournament was doomed and no coach did not want to take. The team was made of some of the best world handball names and until the arrival of the legendary coach Velimir Kljajić Beak nobody could put them into order, and Kljun did impossible- with them he won the world's top. He allowed them to be the last sports bohemians, the bad guys with high individuality who left heart on the ground.

Mirjana Hrga was born in 1971 in Bjelovar, Croatia, where she grew up and discovered his passion for handball. She studied at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Zagreb, Department of Journalism, where she graduated.
