Two men and a campervan: Matt and Maciek are on the football trail in Poland. While Matt is following the fortunes of the Irish boys in green, football is the last thing on Maciek's mind. Their friendship is about to be tested as past deeds and present enmities collide in a clash as charged as any football match.

Maciek ..... William Brand 
Lukasz ..... Rafael Ferenc
