On April 4, 1968, an epic basketball game between the Greek AEK team and Slavia Prague, against all odds, gave Greece its first European Cup, a Guinness world record for the largest attendance at a basketball game (80,000 in the Panathenaic Stadium), and a victory that is still talked about. More than just a thrilling David and Goliath story, acclaimed director Tassos Boulmetis uses this historic sporting event to create a docudrama that reveals the fascinating personal and political histories that came to play on the court that night against a backdrop of upheaval that rocked the world in 1968.

Nominated for five Hellenic Film Academy Awards, including Best Film
