Feature film about how basketball became the most successful Serbian sport of all time! A fascinating film story about the basketball miracle from the Balkans!
A feature film based on a true story and actual events : How four teenagers in an occupied Belgrade hatched a plan: we will be world champions in basketball. With no experience, no money, no courts, no real basketball!.

In that 1970, they won the worldwide gold. They emerged to be the best in the world. And most of them came to this world amidst WW2. They were born while bombs were dropping from the sky. They grew up with nothing but a wish to survive and be the best in the world.
