Director Statement

In the picture we aimed telling the story with the character's emotions. The team was playing after a major loss in the Olimpic's. We knew that this is the last tournament of the coach and couple of the major players. We were incredibly lucky to be in the decisivie moments of people who were close together like a family.

My main inspiration was the Polish documentary school and and the French New Wave.

The film was shot mostly handheld with long lenses - 100 mm and 135 - we wanted to be as close to the characters as possible, without disturbing their process.
