Mensud fought in the Bosnian war, defending his hometown Mostar and the Old Bridge. Now peace has returned and the Old Bridge has been rebuilt. But torn apart by the ethnic conflict, Mostar is more like a ghetto than the joyful Montmartre of the Balkans it was before the war. Mensud is fighting once again, this time against the new nationalist mentality. On the football court of the legendary Velež football club, Mensud teaches his army of kids the values of brotherhood and unity. His son Dženan, one of his players, cannot stand the pressure of everyday life any longer. He dreams of playing for a major European team and living in a safe environment. It is not easy for Mensud to accept this, but a new generation of kids is already waiting for him on the football court.
