Five Finals

2022 · 97 min · Documentary

A documentary about the Ukrainian National Football Team, nearly completed before the war, was set for release on March 18 in Ukrainian cinemas. However, on February 24, the server containing 75% of the film was in a hot spot. The film chronicles the team’s journey to qualify for the World Cup 2022 play-offs. After a poor start, head coach Andriy Shevchenko resigned, and Olexandr Petrakov, with a successful youth coaching background, was appointed. The team, with no margin for error or time for preparation, faces five crucial games, each akin to a final.
