Description
At the height of the Cold War, a group of small-town men led their Czechoslovakian hockey team against the powerful Soviet team. At the same time, they inspired their nation's resistance to a Soviet invasion, finding a way to fight back against the authoritarian forces seeking to crush their society. At the heart of this story is the Holík family, who loved hockey and desired freedom.
