Every week, Zepa and his friends gather after school to play soccer. What was once a fun time becomes a source of despair for the group when Fred, the star player, decides to register their "team" for the inter-school championship. Having never considered forming an official team, the boys begin to feel the pressure, fear, competition, and authoritarianism that come with this decision. This leads them to face a dilemma: is achieving a great performance in the tournament more valuable than preserving the joy of playing soccer together as a group?
