The blood and energy of this life are young people driven by a pure love of the game, not looking for awards and titles. The stories of 3 heroes who live at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers from each other, but are passionate about the same thing, are told in a documentary almanac, the shooting of which took place throughout Russia.
