Property developer Kiko’s (35) motto is to be a ‘millionaire by 40 and
retired by 50’. He grew up in the local area and is happy that it’s
changing quickly with new money and people moving in and pushing out
locals. He lives in a penthouse flat and drives a futuristic sports car.
From the outside, he’s living the dream but inside he’s empty, suffering
from survivor’s guilt due to a car accident where his brother died. He
now hides from human emotion, scared to embrace anything with a
heartbeat, in case he loses it again. His focus is on making money.
While renovating a townhouse, a group of children who live, sleep and
eat football, break a window and force their two disparate worlds to
collide. Despite his better judgment and feeling guilty after he coerces
them to clean his car as payback, he agrees to train them for a 5-a-side
summer football tournament.
How will Kiko overcome his personal obstacles in communicating with
post-millennial kids (short attention spans, computer game addictions
and trigger tempers). Will he give up when the going gets too tough? Will
he be able to juggle his day job and the coaching? Will the kids be able
to make the leap from playing street ball to team ball in time for the
competition?
As the tournament approaches, he realizes that his interaction with the
children effects a wrecking ball, chain-reaction that challenges not just
his vocation but his emotional essence.
