SYNOPSIS

The life-affirming, everyday story of
Torben's growth from a divorced, unemployed couch potato who likes his beer into the successful coach of a boy's football team. Before, he had zero faith in himself. Now, he and the boys practically ooze self-esteem, as the sweet taste of victory spreads to much more than football.
