The best characteristic of this movie is patriotism but not quality. The story is simple. In 1935 a basketball team from Latvia unexpectedly become European champions in basketball. One of the proud moments of Latvian history.
The story is promising but it is told fragmentary. It does not focus either on a team or a trainer. We don't find out what made Latvian basketball team a winning team, what made them better then others. It also does not tell what made the team so determined to go through all the hardships they faced. This move was a good platform for some young Latvian artists to try themselves in cinema, and they did it rather well.
Rating 6 of 10
