Offsiders

(Boisko bezdomnych)

Jacek was once a promising player on Poland's national soccer team. Long since sidelined by an injury, he's now a bitter drunk. Banished by his wife and beaten by thugs, he takes up with a group of down-and-outers at Warsaw's central train station. Against the odds he decides to establish a homeless soccer team with his fellow misfits. Slowly he realizes that this could be the turning point of his life when a TV journalist takes interest in his work.
