This film is a crowd pleasing comedy about unity.  It uses an age old rugby rivalry to deliver a clever, enjoyable film with a feel good message about the benefits of coming together.

When asylum seekers arrive in a small village in south west France, resentments and  racism arise and the local rugby coach has the unenviable task of bringing both his team and the village together to  combat both the racism and their fierce rivals.

The asylum seekers have cultural differences. They don't drink, they play footabll not rugby and life in the quant village is not what they are used to. Some people in tne village see this as the thin edge of the wedge and don't want them there at all.

As an important 100th match draws near, one by one the asylium seekers are drafted into the team and a new dynamic emerges.  Differences are overcome, friendships are formed, vulnerabilities fade and tries are scored in this totally feel-good film that also has a pertinent message.

An inspiring tale of unity that has a world of good about it. And some rugby, but just enough to get the message across. 

"A feel-good movie about how team work can bring even the most unlikely people together" Cineuropa
