Plot summary

In small town Stenfors most inhabitants are unemployed. Anders also has problems with his marriage. The local soccer team is not the success it once was, but when British ex-soccer star Duncan Miller arrives in town, there is suddenly hope for the future. New problems gather when Anders’ wife wants to leave for the big city, and when Mr. Miller turns out to be more of an “ex” than expected.
