Director Statement

This is my first fim. In this film I wanted to show that life is not only in high-level football, but also in such small villages like Aparinka. Let it not always be spectacular in contrast to a big professional football, but not less sincere, truly.

Matvey Yarmonov - lawyer, the self-proclaimed president of the Aparinka Football Club, and he deals with organizational issues.
Alexander Hilimonchik - furniture assembler, is one of the founders of the "Aparinka" football team.
Alexander Korabelnikov - electrician, one of the best players of the Championship.
Alexander Vlasov - football coach, the main organizer of the Championship, the only player in the Ust-Donetsk region, who played at a professional level.
