This film is inspired by true events

that happened quite differently.

Come on, come on!

Grab it!

Not over the dead spot, for God's sake.

That hasn't bounced there for 40 years.

That's supposed to be our home-court advantage.

That's it, come on.

Shoot!

Steps!

Play!

Offensive foul.

You're kidding me, right? Go ref a water ballet!

Guys, I brought some sandwiches.

Why don't you make sandwiches somewhere?

Mrs. Jedličková, this is pro basketball play-offs.

Guys these days eat protein gels. Time-out!

Don't bring that in here, thank you.

Your mom used to bring them here, Marek. It's the same recipe.

Give me one.

Jakub, you're subbed out. What was that supposed to be?

I'm asking you, what was that?

Did you throw a sandwich at me, dad?

It's your grandma's recipe.

Seriously?

Coach technical foul.

What? It's a family matter, don't meddle.

A good referee should be able to punish human failure too.

What did you say?

What did you say?

I've got to go throw some shots.

Sure, go ahead.

Is that so hard? Basketball isn't a hard game.

I'll take the ball and deliver it, dear children, to the bucket.

It won't fit in there, dad.

It's a fucking symbolic bucket.

Don't piss me off.

You'll end up like grandpa.

Not over that dead spot.

Foul!

My dad had a heart attack because of the referees.

Not because of anyone from his team.

Just for him alone we should turn this around.

Second league was always his dream.

Do you know what it means to have a heart attack on the court?

To leave your heart on that court.

Then leave it there as well!

You don't seriously want them to have a heart attack.

Are you even my son?

I mean, symbolically, of course.

Why don't you let this one play? He's the best of you anyway.

Or have they already drafted him into the Mongolian league?

What did you say?

I have a Down Syndrome and I play basketball.

What did you say?

Basketball brought me back to life!

One more word and I'll break your hands, you dickhead.

And you won't be able to play for the disabled either.

You understand, sweetheart?

Now you're right, coach. That motivated me.

- Are you good? - Yeah.

He was an asshole.

Come on, come on!

That's it!

Don't let him!

We got it, we got it, we got it!

- It's ours! - He tipped it.

I didn't see any tip.

But he tipped it, for God's sake.

I tipped it.

- What? What? - I tipped it.

He doesn't know what he's saying, he was a troubled kid.

I tipped it with my fingers.

You can't be serious!

Beautiful, chivalry isn't dead yet.

It will be, and soon. Jakub, I'll…

I'll gut you, I'll take you out, I'll disown you…

And it's fucked.

I'll…

Marek, no. Breathe.

Control yourself, woman.

All good?

Your brother is crying because of you.

In a moment like this you can't prioritize fair play.

Marek, calm down, it was only a game.

A deciding game that your son lost for us.

He's your son as well, isn't he?

You can't hide Slovak genes.

Sorry, father.

What "sorry, father"? Don't make a joke out of me!

Why did you do it?

You wanted to impress that zebra?

Yeah, I wanted to impress that zebra.

Maybe I liked her.

The referees took your grandpa.

That's like spitting on his grave.

I want a zebra too.

Then we will buy a zoo.

I am going to throw some.

Alright, go throw some shots.

You're not coming? Maybe it would help you too.

I have to be at work in the morning.

I have an online call with management in Beijing.

Say hi to Sandokan.

- It's called Handok, dad. - It's the same.

I've worked there eight years. You could remember by now.

You were one of the top juniors in Prague. Now you work in an office.

- I'm 181 centimeters. - 183.

You faked it to 183. I'm 181 and I can't play pro with that.

Lower the dribble, Šimon. You have to do it at waist level.

And don't stare at the ball, damn it.

Aren't you overdoing it with him?

Maybe you'll go to China, but Šimon will go to the Paralympics in Rio.

He won't go anywhere. You can't assemble the team.

Tell him. At least he has a normal life.

Šimon and a normal life? What are you on about?

- We'll use cups. - Cups?

Not cups.

- You won't put it onto him. - Without looking.

Don't we have a normal dribbling routine?

Cups are better. When I gave them to you for your tenth birthday, you were happy.

- I was pretending. - I didn't hear that. Šimon…

Great shot. Take off your glasses.

Hi. Next time I'll go to the game alone, in my own car.

We go to a game in one car.

My eyes hurt, dad.

This is an exercise without eyes, sweetheart. There's nothing to hurt.

If you want to go to Rio, you can't be soft.

Do you already have the team, dad?

There will be a team, sweetie. There will.

I think you're getting better.

The guys from Brno sent the videos.

Show them to me.

I'm supposed to come see them tomorrow.

Well, that's great.

Focus. That's it.

It's a bit wild. Imagine having a whole team from guys like this.

You managed to train those boys in prison.

That was sports education, this is serious.

Šimon, five more minutes and then home!

Come here, you're all stiff. I'll loosen it for you.

I'll try it with them.

We'll build a para-national team for Šimon and that's that.

I can hear the ball has too high a bounce.

We're going to Rio. And tomorrow I'm going to Brno.

Great.

You're a total psychopath!

You think it's normal to take a sleeping pill the moment you pull it out of me?

Please, because of this hysteria of yours, that diazepam stopped working anyways.

Look, I'm a sick man. I just need to sleep now.

Bullshit! You're just working out your insecurities on me!

You only keep me around for fucking and we have nothing to say to each other.

Love, I have nothing to say to you because you

couldn't be understood by a complete idiot.

Can you two calm down? The boy could get upset.

Come home, Šimon.

No, I enjoy this.

You genius!

You're the artistic director only because my dad is the general manager.

Love, that's the only reason you act in that theater.

You know what? You're done.

Tomorrow morning we'll fire you, dickhead.

Ha! Tomorrow morning.

This doesn't hold up as a dramatic situation at all.

She's actually a completely shitty actress.

She's only believable when I'm directing her on stage!

Come, I think we've heard just about enough.

- No, we didn't. - You genius, fucking Stanislavski.

Come on, act disabled, show us something.

- Look how natural he is in it. - Dan, stop.

At least show you're a good actress when you're not a good person.

You're done tomorrow, dude.

Jesus Christ.

Hi, Jana.

Don't you have a little diazepam? I ran out.

No.

Or at least a bit of Neuralgin, yeah? Have a good night.

Good night. I wish I had a good night.

I wish I had.

The coach of the Paralympic national team came to see

our mentally disabled but talented basketball players, Tibor and Marty.

You need to relax your wrist when you shoot.

Like this?

Something like that.

Could you straighten your legs?

- Not turn them out, straighten them. - Fuck, I can straighten my legs.

Marty can straighten his legs, it's a miracle.

And Tibor looks like something's happened I've

never seen him dribble this well in my life.

Well this is a miracle on the Brno court!

Must be the miraculous coach.

Give it here!

This will get so viral.

I drove here through half the country.

- That's why it's funny, isn't it? - It's not funny, you little shits.

Calm down, grandpa.

You idiots. I have a disabled son.

You young cynical bastards.

I should smack your ears into your skulls.

This is exactly what I needed, fucking South Moravian metropolis.

Fucking Brno.

Sir.

Are you disabled?

No, I have a disabled son.

Is he somewhere inside?

He's not.

Have a cookie.

Mom, look.

Hi.

Hi, dad. Come watch.

Sweetheart, I'll be right there, I just need to do something in the garden.

Sweetheart, I can't put that team together. Brno was the last straw.

We have to return the grant.

Return the grant?

Return the grant?

You can't return a grant.

Dan, go back to sleep, you're drunk. We're solving something important.

I'm not drunk, I only had three Lexaurins, I'm fresh as a daisy.

But returning a grant, that's heresy!

Dan, shut the fuck up.

Marek.

I can't tell him.

I'll tell him.

He'll take it better from his mom.

Marek, what grant do you want to return?

I'm an expert at grants.

Not at this one.

Come on, tell me.

What do you mean 'come on'? Who are you talking to?

A friend?

A neighbor?

Šimon…

Šimon, what are you doing?

I'm packing for Rio and you're coming too!

There's no base of mentally disabled players

here at a sufficient level. And besides…

Right… a baseless cough in summer.

So because of that hysterical cow I really do have lung cancer in the end.

Dan, are you even listening to me?

Yeah, go on.

This morning I was in Brno, and some guys recorded me there.

They filmed how I'd react

so they could make one of those Internet jokes out of it.

A prank.

- What? - It's called a prank.

Yeah, a prank.

Wait. And why don't you hire basketball players who would pretend…

…that they're sufficiently mentally disabled, like those guys in Brno?

Excuse me?

I just quit the theater because it didn't satisfy me there.

- So I can help you. - Of course.

Listen, I'll teach those players to act mentally disabled.

I'm great at psychological theater. You'll end up winning the Paralympics.

Dan, stop taking those pills, you're getting completely fried. That's fraud.

What fraud? You'd rather return the grant?

Yeah.

- Listen to me. I demonstrably have cancer. - No you don't, man.

I must know myself whether I have cancer or not.

This could be the last big thing I ever accomplish.

And you have to do it for me. Do you know why?

Why?

Because you owe me.

I'm in labor. And Marek has a match in Hostivař.

My water broke!

Help me, you idiot!

Calm down, calm down!

That's incredibly overacted, tone it down!

- Welcome to the world, Romeo! - It's Jakub, you idiot…

She told him already we're not going anywhere.

She won't do it. I know women's psychology.

Okay, but you don't know Jana.

I can't tell him. He's already packing for Rio.

What?

Dad, will you play with me?

Of course dad will play with you, Šimon.

- Now you'll have to train properly, kid. - Dan, please.

Marek, stop, tell them, come on.

Don't stretch it, stop lying to them.

What's going on?

We have a team!

What?

The Mental Association called, they have some…

new sources of those morons… disabled basketball players.

Mental Association? It's called that?

No, it's the Society for Support of the Mentally Disabled in the Czech Republic.

Yeah, SMP.

And they called now, yeah?

Yeah, Marek almost collapsed.

I said to myself I'd use my empathy and help him, and suddenly SMP calls.

It's fate.

And is it certain?

We still have to verify a few things.

I'll help him. I worked with mildly mentally disabled actors.

You're the best dad in the world!

If only I had a dad like that. I never had a dad, did I ever tell you?

You didn't. You know what? We still have to sort something out.

What something?

We'll tell you everything tonight. Go home.

- We're going to Rio! - Rio, Rio, Rio!

You idiot, if we weren't being watched, I'd kill you with my bare hands.

- Give me your phone, now. - What?

- Phone! - Why?

It worked because she was emotional. Now it's sinking in.

She'll come to her senses, come back and ask about the Mental Association.

I fully understand the mentality of a woman.

Oh God, what are we doing?

- Give me the passcode. - Why?

- Do it! Passcode! - Barkley, Magic, Jordan.

- Is that some kind of spell? - It's not a spell, it's 34, 32, 23.

- You have me saved as a contact? - Yeah.

- Psycho Dan? - Don't make a scene.

And here it is. Rationality kicking in, exactly what I expected.

- Do something. - Wait, wait, wait.

Just say goodbye, there's no other side.

But…

SMP is calling.

Yes, we're coming to you. We're leaving now. Thanks, bye.

Honey?

- Isn't it strange? - What?

- It's an unbelievable miracle. - It is.

And again you were there.

Like our guardian angel.

He's an angel.

Alright then, bye.

See? I told you I understand the woman's mind.

Now we satisfied her rational side.

Dear God, what are we doing? We're lying terribly.

Besides, I'm not going to force healthy players to pretend…

Oh please! You don't have to force those Brno guys to do anything.

What Brno guys? I'm not contacting those bastards.

Trust me. I'm your guardian angel.

Drive. You're doing it for the kid.

Twice in Brno in one day. Is this even possible?

RECRUITMENT

Oh my god, this is the biggest prank ever.

- Man, we're in. - You bet.

I hoped I'd never hear that.

Hi, Richard, it's Marek Popel, basketball coach. Do you remember me?

Are you out with Milan now? I mean out of prison.

And what are you guys doing?

Working in gastronomy?

It was supposed to be forest fruit.

It is pink forest fruit.

Forest fruit is supposed to be purple.

Have you never seen a pink forest blueberry?

Move it.

Put in more of that blueberry sugar or whatever.

Hi guys.

Hi coach.

This is Richard, this is Milan.

We played basketball together in prison through a project.

This is Dan, my assistant.

Director of the cultural section.

What's up?

Guys…

…would you like to go to Rio?

I haven't been going to brothels for years.

There are crabs in that Rio brothel in Chomutov.

Guys, not every Rio is the same.

This is a different kind of project.

You're kidding me, right?

The absolute minimum is nine. I really don't know who else we could recruit.

So tunnel vision, one of the last symptoms of the final stage.

I've got half a year if I'm lucky.

Lucky… Well of course, we need luck.

Yeah, we do.

And Vilém always had luck.

Look at that. Ah, poor Yorick.

He was one of the best actors I ever worked with.

He can play a imbecile flawlessly and he always had luck.

Watch your fucking mouth, Dan. Don't say imbecile in front of me, fuck.

I meant to say retard.

That's better, thank you.

I'll call him and ask where he's playing now.

Vilém, this is Dan. Where can I find you?

In Opava?

Glory to you, Macbeth!

Hail, Thane of Glamis!

Don't mumble.

My friend.

I like this project, I think it's a well-designed concept.

A kind of theatrical reality show. Finally something real.

Can you play basketball?

I can play basketball.

That was F71, debilitas mentalis.

That was a coincidence.

I can play basketball.

That was F72, imbecilitas moderata, there I can't handle it psychologically anymore.

And then there's still…

Fate guides my shots!

That was F73, retardatio mentalis gravis, but I wouldn't go into that.

That's too much.

It has some morally controversial aspects, but so does theater, right?

And a grant is sacred.

I've heard that somewhere before.

There's a streetball tournament in Ceské Budějovice.

Google whether antidepressants affect the growth of a malignant lung tumor.

He's actually pretty good, isn't he?

You think mentally disabled people go to the gym every day?

And have a porn actress tattooed on their back?

That's not a porn actress. That's our biology teacher, Jarka.

We all loved her, she taught me how to grow plants.

And what about those over there? They've never been in a gym.

And that tall one, that's useful. For basketball.

- I'm not doing it. - Me neither.

It's immoral, I used to be a scout.

No.

We'll pay all expenses plus fifty thousand on top.

And food?

Sure, Brazilian steaks.

- Then, I'm in. - Me too.

Sorry, not me. It's too much.

What about David? He's always high like a retard anyway.

So he doesn't need to act and he's pretty good at basketball.

That would do, right?

- What's your favorite? - I like schnitzel.

- Schnitzel? That's good. - Yeah.

Oh my, a real dream team.

A good casting is 90% of success.

Alright, gentlemen…

Representing the Czech Republic

with the lion on your chest is a huge privilege.

We'll have a lion on the jersey?

Yeah, but it'll be retarded.

That applies under any circumstances.

If this works, you'll go on a free holiday to Rio.

You'll get per diems, of course.

But don't forget why you're here.

You're here because of my boy. And for that I truly thank you.

But we're not going just for a trip.

We want to show that basketball in our country has some level.

In just a week we'll play against the Visegrad selection.

And we have to show everyone at the federation that we can go to Rio.

That we won't embarrass ourselves.

Yeah! Look…

Life and the world are shit, we know that…

Those whom life punished the hardest and made

into "mentals" are actually the happiest.

Because a retard doesn't realize that everything here is shit.

And that's your base. That unawareness, enjoy it.

You see, they're actually happy. Not like us, who know everything is fucked up.

So, you already know Dan. Thanks for summarizing it so nicely.

In a moment Šimon will come in and he must not find out you're healthy. Clear?

Let's try it. Three, two, one… Action!

What are they doing?

Leave it to me. Stop, stop!

Stop!

Less is more. And don't think. An actor who thinks is a problem!

He becomes aware of the futility of his actions, and we don't want that.

You as actors are empty vessels which I fill with conditions.

Yes?

I don't think, therefore I am. Do we understand each other?

No!

Just don't make idiots out of the disabled people.

Most of you can stay as you are.

Šimon! This is your team.

- Hi! - Hi!

Alright, let's do this!

Come on, Šimon!

Never mind.

Sharper passes.

You two, come here.

It's not bad, but I'd still tone it down a little.

- But I'm not acting anything. - Me neither.

I'm a bit high, but I'm chill.

All right, continue.

Not underhand!

Prison section, 100%!

Milan, I see you, you bitch.

Come on.

No steps, okay?

This can't be real.

Guys, keep going.

What's wrong? We've been training barely two minutes.

I know, coach, I'm best at finishes.

Sure.

Besides, I'm hungry.

Have a sandwich.

Not him!

You're going to deny food to the disabled?

He's an elite disabled athlete.

Guys, where are you going?

We'll only come to the games if it's going to look like this.

Do you need the money? Then dance.

Mrs. Jedličková, give them the sandwiches.

When someone loses a leg in a war, he gets a war cross or a medal.

And among those decorated soldiers, 52% are amputees.

There are more heroes among us than among you normal people.

The Olympics is a sports competition for normal people.

But the Paralympics is an elite gathering of heroes.

Right, Radek.

Are you a hero, Marek?

- I don't know, Radek. - It's all right, sit down.

You should be a hero. Mentally, you should be something like an amputee,

if you want to lead a basketball team at the Paralympics.

So you finally put it all together, huh?

In the end, yes.

A month ago you wrote

that you couldn't put together the core of the team.

Things have started moving.

I can't afford any embarrassment, you know that.

Of course.

I've been the head of the Paralympic federation

for ten years,

and apart from the guide dog with rabies in Athens,

I haven't had a single screw-up.

Nobody remembers that anymore, Radek.

Alright then.

I'm curious what you'll look like with those amateurs in that friendly.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks.

He who doesn't jump isn't Czech, right?

Of course, Radek.

I assume you won't be playing with just nine.

I believe you'll find two more boys.

As you can see, the atmosphere in the team is excellent.

We approached recruitment a bit differently, we even have older guys…

Plus my assistant Dan has a lot of experience working with disableds.

Half a year ago you told Kája he wasn't at Paralympic level yet.

I won't deny that Kája and Péťa will start the games on the bench,

but we changed our concept, so we'll have a place for them.

And isn't it just that you don't have the players?

Péťa? Do you want to go to Brazil?

Do they have penguins there?

Is that important?

It's the most important thing.

So… are there penguins in Brazil, coach?

There aren't.

Then I'm going! I'm terrified of penguins.

I want to go too!

That's it!

- Hi, racer. - Hi!

Hi, bro, come play.

Hi bro, hi guys.

Maybe also hello dad, no?

Hey!

Come here! I need to tell you something.

- Did you put the team together? - Yeah.

I know. I'd like to know how. I'm going to see my brother, okay?

I'd like you to be my assistant, that's clear.

But the neighbor, he's a better match, isn't he?

Calmed down by vodka and Xanax, he'll listen to you.

Stop it. Dan delivered your baby, speak nicely about him.

Delivered him because you had to play basketball.

Well, I had to. You know, basketball doesn't wait.

- Sorry, I'll take this. - Who's that? That's a pretty girl.

- Nothing, don't worry about it. - Who is she?

- Who is she supposed to be? - Nobody. Please.

- Make your old man happy. - Leave it.

Hold on. Is that the referee? You're showing me the referee half-naked?

What did I show you? You grabbed my phone!

- Why do you have it? - And she's not the referee, she's Hanka.

- What is this? - Hanka. I'm dating her.

- What do you mean you're dating her? - I'm dating her.

I never beat you, but I should have. Goodbye.

If grandpa saw this, he'd shit himself.

What are you two clowns doing here?

He's literally dating that referee.

- I know. - What?

You must bring her here for dinner sometime.

I don't know, mom, she'd get a shock from dad.

No! I'm in shock!

Jana, we're not bringing a referee into the house, are we?

We are. Come, I'll make you something to eat.

Jana!

- Do we have dumplings? - I'll make you some.

We're playing against Visegrad, a combined Hungarian-Slovak-Polish team.

No worries, they won't understand each other on the court.

So just do the F71. Childlike emotions.

When something works out, I'm super happy. When something doesn't work out…

I cry.

Absolutely not. Crying is very difficult.

Go warm up.

We're going to hell. You too.

- It'll be fine. - What?

Why aren't you warming up, Richard?

I can't play against my own.

Against your own how?

- I'm Slovak. - What?

- I was born in Slovakia. - When were you going to tell me?

Look, if you can pretend to be disabled, you can pretend to be a Czech one.

- It's a smaller fraud. - Smaller I have to register him!

It's a friendly match.

But the Paralympics isn't a friendly.

So we'll make him a fake passport.

Make him what?

That's a smaller fraud than pretending we're disabled, right?

I guess so.

We're going to hell. You too.

Come to me!

Šimon is the captain, he'll come up with a chant.

You don't want to? Someone must, we need a chant.

Balls like petards, we fight for the retards.

Surprising. Shakespeare has nothing on him.

- Excuse me? - Balls like petards…

I heard it. It's terrible.

- If you care about my artistic opinion… - We don't, Dan, shut up.

Nice.

Nice? That is nice, Šimon?

Balls like petards, we fight for the retards!

Šimon, Tibor, Marty, Richard, Milan.

Remember, you're outsiders here, don't crush them too much.

If you're too good, you must tone it down, so it's not suspicious.

- No problem. - Shall we go? Let's go!

Come on, Šimon, come on!

Seventy-one.

Come on, guys!

Add a bit!

That was too smart, better substitute David.

- Roman! - I'm ready.

Are you Roman or what?

- Should I sit down? - Yes.

- Tibor, play a bit better. - Better how?

What?

Come back!

Yeah!

Watch your player!

Marek!

Right away, right away…

Šimon,

go with the boys to the locker room, Dan will go with you, I'll be right there.

I want to apologize to you.

Apologize for what?

I wondered, since you put it together so fast, whether you didn't get healthy ones.

Excuse me?

Sorry, I'm an idiot.

And I have to apologize for the other thing too.

Today the match will end like minus forty.

I can't send you to Rio.

It'll be obvious it was stitched together last minute.

If there were qualifiers, you'd have no chance. Everyone knows that.

- And what if we turn it around? - You won't turn it around…

You know what I told you.

I can defend sending you if it's minus fifteen, minus twenty.

Do I have your word?

Of course. Absolutely.

And don't yell at them! You can't yell at guys like these.

And how am I supposed to turn it around if I don't yell?

I'M ASHAMED!

Can you read?

Šimon can.

Šimon, come here.

I can't yell or hit you. Unfortunately. So…

YOU PLAY WORSE THAN THE DISABLED!

I feel that as negative motivation, it has the opposite effect on me.

Really? Then shut up. Shut the fuck up.

Šimon, what is it?

Guys, I told him something I must tell all of you.

- I have lung cancer. - Dan, not now.

Wait, this isn't a joke. Some piety, Marek.

Sorry… whenever I'm stressed, I start coughing.

I want to say that the Paralympics are the last footprints I'll leave on this earth.

And I'd like to press myself into that Brazilian sand really deep.

Like the footprints of a Yeti! A Brazilian Yeti!

Šimon, stop crying for me. I don't want to see your tears.

I don't want to see your tears! I want to see the tears of crushed opponents!

Do we understand each other?

Yes! Yes!

- Balls like petards… - …we fight for the retards!

Yeah!

Come on! Let's finish this!

Don't let him!

Coach, subbing.

We're subbing. Tonda!

- Put me in. - Put him in, he feels it.

I said Tonda.

- This match can only be won with soul. - Sit down. And come on, guys!

What are you doing, Richard? What is it?

Subbing!

His stupid Hungarian is pissing me of.

This match can only be won by fate. Put me in.

Good call.

Blow, wind, blow.

It will bounce here. You'll see, it's fate.

A basket, my friend.

Milan passes, David dribbles, Marty runs, David passes,

Marty shoots a three.

- I won't let you down. - I hope not.

- Balls like… - …petards!

Let's go.

Man, no!

So close!

Well, congratulations! It wasn't bad!

You're going to the Paralympics!

Marek! We're in! You're not happy?

We lost, Dan. Whoever isn't pissed off is retarded.

Mom! We're going to Rio!

Yes! Sorry, Mr. Vohanka. To Rio!

I'm sorry you couldn't be there with us.

If you saw how happy Šimon was…

It's alright.

You're the best dad, you know that? And the best coach!

So, we're going to the Olympics!

Anyway, we lost. We're going to sleep.

In the face, man, in the face.

Shoot already!

Don't be afraid!

Šimon!

Who's first? Excellent!

That deserves applause!

Very manly.

Connecting, pressing, loading.

This is YouTube. There are videos from ll over the world.

Everyone will see it.

Don't look at the ball, for fuck's sake.

Stop eating, we're going to play.

Everything is better with a smile!

65 views, 25 views, 35 views.

You're becoming a celebrity.

We'll be celebrities.

Guys, good. That's enough for today.

It's amazing how the team has such positive energy. It's awesome!

Aren't you going to the pub? We'll strengthen team chemistry.

I need to wash down a few Xanaxes. Burn some metastases.

I can't today.

Family reasons.

Chinese food. A surprise for Kubo. Since you work with those Chinese.

- Xièxie, mom. - What?

Thanks, mom.

How did you meet?

- Quite normally. - Normally?

I said something sensitive, sorry.

Definitely not. I'm sorry.

We met at a disco.

In Slovakia…

- That's romantic. - Not really.

Ask Hanka something too.

So what do you do, Hanička?

I work at the tax office.

Oops. What more to say?

Jesus Christ.

Sorry, Hanka. Marek will apologize.

Marek has nothing to apologize for.

Šimon, play something nice on the guitar for Hanka.

What are you doing? She's his first girlfriend.

I know. It's terrible.

You're acting like an idiot.

Instead of helping us with the Paralympics,

he's running around with a referee from Tax office…

…and working for the Chinese.

So who's the idiot here? Seriously, would you expect that?

Referee from Tax office, you can't make this up.

It's not her fault she's a referee.

And do you know how much effort I put into that food?

You struggled with the food and he brings this monster here.

- I invited her. - So here she is, honey.

We still have cake!

I'm going to the library.

Sorry. We won't visit them again.

He's really terrible.

Excuse me, where are you going?

Sir, where are you driving?

Mára is here. Hold your roles so this doesn't become a disaster.

Put the eye back.

- Two greens over here. - Phil Jackson, grab a seat.

No, guys, it's fine, I've got the lads from the team here. Excuse me.

- Are those the disabled ones? - Hi.

So, how is it, coaching that retard basketball?

Sorry to say it like that, but they don't perceive it anyway, right?

- You've got a grant for it, right? - Yeah, we've got a grant for it.

I get it, they need to move, to do sports, that's important for them.

So they can feel like they belong in society.

Because pity for them is supposedly worth shit.

Still, that basketball is just a hobby. It's not even real Paralympics.

- It is real Paralympics. - But nobody watches it.

- Drop it, Gustav. - Sure, sorry.

I'm just saying, we contribute to that.

But when I play billiards here, nobody gives me anything for it.

Gustav, one beautiful day we'll pay for your rehab from our taxes.

I was there twice, you really rest there. I call it the Maldives.

Don't talk to him.

One more.

Sure, put it all on me, everyone.

Funny, when you're sober you look like Mongols…

and when you get drunk you also look like Mongols.

And I'm supposed to pay taxes for this.

- Gustav, that's enough, shut up. - You shut up, dude!

You'll never make the league in Gbely, so here you exploit cripples…

What, does Janicka need a new handbag?

And on top of that you're exploiting your own kid.

Just a moment.

- What are you doing, man? - Don't you dare talk shit about my boy.

He's an asshole, so why are you hitting him?

Exactly because of that.

- Aren't you a bit of a hysterical cunt? - Sit down.

Stop, stop! Give peace a chance!

Fuck!

- Balls like petards… - …we fight for the retards!

- I've got brain bleed. - Great. Then we have to drink to that.

Never wait for me again, my Little beloved girl… What is it?

I'm not waiting for you. I locked the door, I can smell booze through it.

Oh, are your doors that low quality? Open up, my kitty, my little Tatranka…

Dad?

They're not like me, are they?

Jesus, Šimon.

Péťa and Kájo, yes, but the others aren't like me.

The others…

Sweetheart, we've talked so many times about how every person is a bit different,

but we care about the same thing.

Fuck.

You don't believe me, do you?

Could I sleep in your room tonight?

Can I sleep with you?

Alright then.

Come on then, you're a star.

FLAG BEARER

Hi, Šimon. How did you sleep?

You snored terribly.

Me? In your dreams.

Dan?

Dan?

Jesus Christ, Dan!

- Dan! Are you alive? - What are you doing? Of course I'm alive!

I fell asleep at 6 am. I'm metastasizing.

- Right. - My diazepam isn't working.

Don't get worked up.

What is it?

- Are you listening to me? - Yeah, I'm listening. What do you want?

Šimon probably suspects the other boys are healthy.

Come on… How could he?

You'd be surprised.

Look, I won't lie to him. Or to Jana or Jakub.

They're all pissed off at me anyway.

Don't tell me you want to blow it off.

Now we have to. It's the last chance.

We'll just spend the preparation grant, you'll get your money.

- Money? I don't care about money. - Really?

- You think I ever cared about money? - Yeah.

And you just tell me like this?

- You think you can just tell me like this? - How am I supposed to tell you?

Me? I delivered your child with these hands.

Dan, don't blackmail me. Sorry, it's over.

God, I can't keep lying to my family like this.

This way you'll only disappoint your family!

Pull yourself together.

Šimon, come. We need to talk.

Jana, I want to apologize for last night.

You don't even know what you're apologizing for.

I didn't black out.

Hanka broke up with Jakub.

And how is that my fault?

You driving for the first time, you dope? Just take Toužimská like normal, no?

No, wait, we want Albrechtická. We'll go home via Albrechtická today.

Jakub yelled at the taxi driver for taking Toužimská instead of Albrechtická.

He did well. Toužimská is evil, everyone knows that.

Exactly.

And Hanka said Jakub surprisingly reminds her of you.

And that she can't imagine living with someone like that.

Jana, time will show that breaking up with a referee is a good thing.

Come on, Šimon, let's watch something.

Jana, listen to me.

Compared to what I'm about to tell you, this is completely irrelevant.

Not now.

So…

We talked a bit with Šimon last night.

- Radek? - Hi, Marek.

In ancient Sparta they threw people like us off a cliff.

And it's a hell of a job to climb back up.

Radek, I think I know what you're going to say.

You know what, I'll put you on speaker.

So Jana and Šimon can hear it too, that'll be best.

When you're clawing your way up that cliff you have no rope, no harness.

And maybe you're missing a leg.

And pebbles fall in your face from the shoes

of the people who threw you down.

Radek, I want you to know I'm sorry.

You're a great person even though you're in a wheelchair,

you're a much better person than I am.

That used to be the case.

But you really started thinking like an amputee, you are a hero.

Thank you, Irenka.

You're the hero, Marek. Those videos your boy is shooting…

have over a hundred thousand views.

Thanks to that, new sponsors are coming to us.

Everybody wants to be associated with such a strong channel

that promotes Paralympic sport.

We'll get 2 million for boccia, 4 million for paralysed athletes and…

…new special prostheses for athletics worth 12 million.

Videos that Šimon shoots? You're shooting videos?

Yeah, dad.

On that camera you bought him.

Fuck, Marek, people call me in tears because of you.

I've had 130 new runners sign up.

And I'm moved too. Thank you.

Your Šimon will be the flag bearer of the whole delegation.

Flag bearer?

- Flag bearer! - Flag bearer!

Come here, my little flag bearer.

And I believe you'll bring gold back from Rio.

- I'm done. - I'm done.

Guys, stay in character.

- Hi, Radek! - I've got a surprise for you, Marek.

You need a woman's touch, and a physiotherapist's one at that.

- The boys need it. - Hi!

- Hi. - Hi…

Radek nominated me as the physiotherapist.

He just told me. You're going too?

No, I just gave Mom a ride.

- Good luck. - See you.

Thanks, Jakub.

- Nice surprise? - It is a surprise.

What is he saying?

Stay in character or we're fu… no, we're screwed.

No, don't film that.

Give me the flask. We'll do it the old way.

Jana, how are you with flying? This is your first flight, right?

Ritual!

She keeps sleeping. That's weird, right?

Deep sleep, what I'd give for that.

Dan… did you drug her?

Excuse me, you wanted help, didn't you?

And don't call quality pharmaceuticals drugs.

- Radek too? - I'm innocent in that.

I'll kill you.

Look how beautifully she's waking up.

Guys, take it easy.

- Radek. - Štefan.

- Who was that? - Keketi.

What? Kokoty?

It's pronounced Keketi. The chairman of the Slovak Paralympic Committee.

Right.

He's been fiddling with subsidies all eight years he's been there.

A man builds something and this Kököty cheats.

Honesty is the basis of the Paralympic idea,

I'd jump off a bridge if I had to cheat.

- But it's beautiful here. - You're right, Radek.

Head up. Pull it in. That's it!

Gentle, relaxed! Yes.

Don't rush! There. Pull it in.

Guys, what is it? Šimon…

What's going on? Are you their coach?

Stop filming right now! Eyes off my daughter!

Just because you're disabled, doesn't mean I won't rip your dick off.

He doesn't understand the language of your tribe.

Put that camera down, okay?

Let's go, boys, we're here for basketball.

Come on. This is not a strip club.

We're at the Olympics, for fuck's sake!

Nice wig.

Slowly. Nice and soft.

We're in Brazil and you like a Hungarian?

- Hungarian girls are nice. - Hungarian girls are mainly wild, right?

Everyone knows that in the Middle Ages Czech Girls

forbade their men trips to Hungary.

- To Hungary? - Yes.

You hear that, Šimon?

No trips to Hungary.

Exactly. There are always problems with Hungarians.

Thank you.

Tibor is rooming with Marty, Milan with Richard, Roman with Tonda…

Kája with David, Péťa with Vilém, and our Šimon with Dan.

Will the boys handle it?

We'll handle it.

I put a more severely disabled boy with a less disabled one.

And Dan has a course for this, right, Dan?

Yeah. Once I had a horse in a performance.

Great! Team lunch at 12:30. Let's go get settled, come on!

Enjoy your meal, gentlemen.

Today is the opening ceremony, tomorrow we play our first game against Spain.

I want you to stay focused. I don't want you to get distracted by any local…

…exotics. We'll eat now, and in the afternoon we'll have our first practice.

- Uncle coach? - Yes, Kája?

I've never been to the sea.

Me neither.

- Me neither. - I have.

Look how happy they are.

Do you know why people are happy in the sea?

Why?

Because we actually come from the sea.

We are the sea. And in the sea you'll be reborn.

You know what, man? Thank you for everything.

My pleasure.

- You're going in the water, yeah? - Yeah.

It burns! It burned my eyes out! I'm blind!

Calm down, control yourself, you are the sea!

Shut the fuck up, do something.

Let go of me! I'll save you!

Jesus Christ, you pissed on me!

I lent you the means.

Don't take Jesus's name in vain. He's watching us.

Now we have to pray.

That's it, back to why we're here. We're going to practice!

But faith is important.

I believe in zone defense, my god is Michael Jordan.

Boys, you've got 10 minutes for water and then practice!

What about me?

And we can see the Czech Paralympic team.

The flag is proudly carried by Šimon Popel,

a basketball player with Down syndrome.

Hey, Jakub, your brother is the flag bearer!

Why didn't you go there too?

Because he probably doesn't want to take part in that circus.

He didn't want to go on a trip at the taxpayers' expense, we appreciate that.

Beautiful morning, right? Who knows how the boys slept.

- Honey. It's hot, come inside. - What?

Hey! Hi!

Roman, charge him up!

Tibor, but…

Something's wrong, right?

What's wrong with you, for God's sake.

I know, we forgot the chant.

It's not the chant.

Richard, you'll go in for Marty and toughen it up a bit.

I mean a bit.

Oh God.

Guys, don't forget the chant, okay?

- Balls like petards… - …we fight for the retards!

Don't worry, karma will pay us back.

Don't you you me.

Told you.

Let's go!

Excellent, boys.

Physical fitness is important. Don't faint.

- Remember Zátopek! - When you can't, push harder!

Exactly my words.

You look like you're going to drop. Come on, boys.

Excellent, Marty. You look like you're going to die.

- Pretty decent beer for Brazil. - Cerveza bonita.

Penguins! Penguins!

And the Czech team wins their third game in F71 basketball.

We're leading Italy by 15 points and at last Petr Bláha and Karel Skonek

finally get on the court with their first minutes in the Paralympic tournament.

And our team advances to the semifinals and is just one game away from a medal.

Look, Magola and Houska.

Jožo, isn't that your brother?

No way. They're on probation. Shouldn't we report it?

You leave my brother alone, you snitch!

In the semifinals our boys will face the favored team of the USA.

That was great, guys, huh?

We beat Italy, but we can't take the Americans.

- Stop bitching all the time! - He's right.

So, boys. Tomorrow is a day off, if any of you need it, sign up with Jana for physio.

I'll go.

Man, Šimon. Your paprika is there without her old man.

Šimon, go for it.

Desdemona, come. Only one hour can be devoted to our love.

Very nice. But you won't screw a girl like that.

Have a drink and go for it.

You're a basketball star.

You think Jordan was afraid to make a move on a chick?

What should I say to her?

Give her tickets to the game.

She's coming.

Me, Paulina, gymnastics.

Šimon, basketball, me.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Come back Paulina.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Entry into the gymnastics zone.

I'm scared.

What do you mean scared? I'll prepare you psychologically.

Psychology doesn't work here.

With Hungarian girls only one thing works… practice.

PRACTICE

Good night, Šimon.

Boys, you're not asleep yet?

- Good night. - Good night.

Good night!

Be me with me for a bit.

You've won three games.

Come on.

Honey, we've got a tough day tomorrow.

Come on. Come on.

I'm going for a walk.

Alone.

I'm going for a walk and I'll have sex with five black guys.

Wait, what?

Where, not where, what? Jana, don't be crazy!

Jana!

Could you tone down those Eastern Slovak passions?

Don't piss me off, darling.

Come on, you can't just walk around here alone.

I want to dance.

With or without you.

Mr. Kököty, aren't those the crazy Czech basketball players?

That's them, those Czech dicks.

So what are they doing here?

Came here for hookers, what else? Got your camera?

Yeah.

I want to sleep.

What?

Hello?

What's going on?

- I have to go to a disciplinary hearing. - A hearing?

- Yes. - Do they think the boys are doping?

No, probably not.

You have an idea what this is about?

Yeah, I do.

Sweetheart…

Sorry.

What's that?

- Sorry. - Dan…

I'm sorry, but this really wasn't my idea, I swear…

What wasn't your idea?

Haven't you read it?

What were we supposed to read?

Nothing big. It's just all over the Czech media.

- It's literally everywhere. - What?

Jesus Christ!

- What is this? - It's there.

So that's why I have to go to the hearing. I thought something had happened.

And you don't care our child was partying in a brothel?

- Well, apparently. - He didn't use any of the services.

Nothing happened, we thought we were just going for a kebab.

- Kebab? - Honey, nothing happened and kebab, yeah?

I'll get changed and go there.

What's important is that it turned out okay.

And how…? And where is he now?

He's exhausted, he's sleeping. We meant well.

We just wanted him to be a bit prepared.

Out with it. He's in love with that Hungarian gymnast.

How do you know?

I'm not stupid, I know everything.

Everything?

When will I die?

Bye-bye.

Come out, Kököty! Are you scared or what?

Why are you waking us, Radek? I can report this as an disturbance attempt.

Exactly.

Today you play us in boccia. The boccia players sleep over there.

What kind of wreck is that?

This is no wreck. It's a Flexitron 3000 with a range of 100 kilometers.

The Popemobile among wheelchairs. Because unlike you I invest in my health.

You bought that with stolen subsidies, you bastard.

And how is it that you, a cheat and

the biggest disgrace of the Paralympic movement,

dare secretly photograph my boys when they peacefully went for a kebab.

For a kebab? They went to fuck!

What? Say that again!

This is electric! You can't match that!

Hands are more than electricity!

Come on, come on! Don't let me down.

This is the incarnation of the Paralympic spirit.

As Pierre de Coubertin would say:

"A confrontation on the field always ends in friendship."

You bastard!

Come on, come on! No!

Mr. Kököty, I'm coming for you!

Victory of man over machine.

Paulina!

Paulina!

Yeah, that's me. I'm famous!

Radek, I'm sorry, I didn't know.

We'll of course pay the 1,000 euros fine.

It's fine. A lot of emails are coming to the federation now.

People are expressing support for the boys.

No way.

Apparently it's great we let them have some fun when their life is so hard.

You're actually an enlightened coach, Marek.

You perfectly sensed the Paralympic spirit.

And look at your boy. He's playing first league.

- Šimon! Come back to the hotel! - Paulina!

Watch that girl of yours, we're playing the Americans tomorrow.

The boy needs to concentrate.

Šimon…

Bullshit! Your son is after my daughter.

Hey! Hey!

She's competing in ribbon tomorrow. She can make the finals.

It'll be great if your red-haired angel stopped seducing my boy.

Your son is drooling over her, I'm not blind.

Now focus, move!

Šimon, come here. Tomorrow you play the Americans.

That's your dream, right? Are you listening to me?

It is your dream, right?

Sure.

So let's repeat it.

We're playing it Chekhov-style. Retardation F71. Less is more.

Thanks, Dan.

As for basketball, everyone at 1000%.

Not even our able-bodied national team might beat these demigods.

- Are you here alone? - Yes.

I gave your boy two tickets.

What?

For some girl. He stopped by yesterday morning.

I see. Thank you, Mr. Jouza.

- Is Paulina here? - What?

- I gave her tickets. - You gave her tickets?

Is she here or not?

Yeah, I saw her here. She was just buying a Czech flag.

Let's do this!

Was Paulina here?

I didn't see her.

Šimon! We're in the final!

Yeah, the final.

Well, fuck me.

I heard that there's someone healthy playing on your dad's team.

That would be the biggest disgrace in Gbely basketball.

Gustav?

Hey, shut up.

Daddy's suddenly famous,

so now you're on his side. You didn't even want to go there.

Hey, do you want a slap like from Dad?

You shut up too.

Hello, Hana!

What? No…

What? Seriously?

Yeah. Big day today, right, Šimon.

Why wasn't Paulina there?

Seriously, why wasn't Paulina there?

Tomorrow you'll win, and you'll have any girl you want.

Look, there she is. The qualification is on.

He fell asleep.

Such an important moment and you fall asleep.

What I'd give to be able to fall asleep like that.

It always costs me eight diazepams.

One more for Dad. One more for Mom.

Turn it off, Jana.

Wait, not yet, Paulina's on.

Damn.

Paulina didn't qualify. That means she's going home tomorrow.

At least she won't be messing with Šimon's head at the final.

Sure, a girl, life sucks.

Šimon is asleep.

THE TRUTH

Jakub.

What is this supposed to be?

- Hi. - Good day.

Good day.

So you flew in after all.

- For my brother, right? - Sure.

I'm glad you changed your mind.

Look, dad, I need to tell you something, okay?

Let's go to Šimon, it'll be a surprise for him.

See you in a bit.

I'm so glad you came.

- So, you're back together? - Yeah. We're in love.

Even your genetics don't bother her anymore.

If you've managed to get over that, it must be love.

When I see what you do for Šimon and how you work with disabled people…

I thought that somewhere under the shell of that…

…idiot.

- …there's a good person inside. - That's nice of you.

Mom, you can't be serious that we're sharing a room with that lunatic.

I am, and we'll take Šimon with us. There was no other way.

And Dan is not a lunatic, don't forget he delivered you.

Šimon has gotten used to him.

Do you know how nicely Dan is taking care of him now?

Dan!

Try the card they gave us downstairs.

He probably fell asleep.

Oops!

Šimon, come out!

She's just a girl!

Jesus Christ! What's going on here?

- Where's Šimon? - Dan, what's happening here?

He doesn't want to come out.

Open up, love, it's mom. What did you tell him?

He's sad that he'll never see his girl again. The truth is ruthless.

You were supposed to take care of him, not burden him with the truth.

- Hello, it's mom! - Sorry, sweetheart. I'll try.

- Šimon, hey, it's dad, open up. - No!

What is this?

Dan?

There were high odds on us, you placed a bet, didn't you?

Lately I haven't been doing great, plus I'm dying, so what?

You completely fucked it up!

You can bet on your win, can't you?

But not under these circumstances!

Under what circumstances?

Jesus, just tell them already. We did it for a good cause anyway.

What do you have to tell us, dad?

Say it, Jana knows anyway, she's not stupid.

Not in the head!

What is she supposed to know, dad?

Apart from Šimon, Péťa and Kája, all the players are healthy.

You can't be serious, right?

Calm down that referee in you, you don't understand this.

Šimon is the happiest he's ever been in his life right now. The happiest.

- The most unhappy. - Šimon.

Is she going home?

- No, no. - Yes! Yes!

- I have to go after her. - Šimon, you can't.

Today is the final, Šimon.

I'm not playing!

Šimon, what are you saying? It's your final!

Isn't it rather your final, dad?

You want to finish the whole game, the whole tournament. Šimon or not.

So what? We're not going to show up because of that?

You guys have gone crazy.

You're the one who's gone crazy!

This is about your son, not about basketball.

I know, I've been doing all of this for him from the start…

Only for yourself!

You're doing it just for yourself.

Come, Šimon.

You'll call the team and tell them you're not playing today.

And I'll help you report it to the tournament management.

You're coming too, Dan.

Me? Why me?

You came up with it together, didn't you?

Dad is a jerk, but at least a big enough dick to bet on it.

I delivered you with these hands.

Well, that's definitely erased now.

Let's go.

And dad? We're expecting a baby.

I'm not delivering anyone else.

I'm sorry I'm such a bastard and that I cheat.

I wanted my boy to be happy.

And now he's not.

Give me some sign that you understand me.

Oh Lord, My little girl is unhappy.

What do I do? Please, give me a sign.

I am not going home.

It's your daughter's fault.

It's your son's fault.

Are we going to see Paulina?

Šimon, I don't know whether Paulina…

She's probably left. The last plane to Budapest left half an hour ago.

You know how I said everything in this world is kind of shit.

And that the retarded have the advantage of not realizing it.

Well, it has kind of caught up with us.

Us, who are healthy and aware.

It's clear we did all this for Šimon, right?

Except he doesn't want to play.

So we decided…

I don't want to go back to prison.

You won't go back to prison. We just mustn't show up for the game.

But that's impossible, I canceled all my gigs for this.

You can't be serious. You can't win gold by cheating.

I feel like crying my eyes out.

And besides, Šimon doesn't want to play.

I need your passports.

Mrs. Jana, pee.

What are you doing? I know you're not disabled.

Finally.

Hey, the Hungarian.

Šimon, look!

- I'm so jealous of them. - Look how they're running.

Write here that you're withdrawing from the tournament for health reasons.

Dad!

Finally.

I'm going to play!

- You're not playing, bro, you can't. - Paulina wants to see me.

I'm going to warm up.

Hey! Where are you going?

He's going to warm up.

Dad, please, wake up.

You can't win a gold medal by cheating.

There is one option. We'll let them win.

Don't you dare bet on it!

That's still cheating, isn't it?

Yeah, but the right kind, no?

There's no such thing as the right kind of cheating.

That's the Tax man in you talking, dear daughter-in-law.

What is going on here?

Guys, come on.

Where is my home, where is my home

Water roars across the meadows

The pines murmur among the rocks

In the orchard spring blossoms shine

An earthly paradise to behold!

And that is the beautiful land

The Czech land, my home!

Šimon, Péťa, Kája, Tonda, Milan.

Péťa, Kája, let's do this.

Tibor, the chant.

- Balls like petards… - …We fight for the retards!

Come on, boys, a bit more!

Come on, Czechs, come on!

Come on, come on, come on!

Sub!

Time-out! Boys!

I don't even know how to lose on purpose. We didn't even bet on it.

Look how happy they are. It's worth it, isn't it?

We have to push, this is not okay. It's making me sick.

How can you cover one cheat with an even bigger cheat?

Kubo.

I'm going to marry a referee, mom!

No, absolutely not.

Jakub, where are you going? Think of your brother!

Hey, sir. Delegates. Delegates.

Fuck!

Those Chinese are kind of weird.

Weird how?

- Want a calming pill? - Oh please.

A pill fixes everything.

- The Chinese are abled! - What?

I heard two Chinese guys saying how easy it is to play in front of whites.

How they act disabled and nobody notices.

I knew those bastards were faking.

You are too.

- Wait, bro, you knew. - Apparently he figured it out.

I want to win, now it's fair.

Hang on, he's right, now it's fair.

Wait. It's really not fair. You really can't.

Please, brother.

Okay. Then win it, bro.

Alright, we'll win.

We'll tear them a new one!

Balls like petards, we fight for the retards!

Good job, boys. But now we change tactics.

- We're going to turn this around. - What?

The Chinese are abled too. We're going to win this.

Yeah!

- Come here, boys. - I have to tell them something.

- Dan… - Trust me.

Boys, listen to me.

The Paralympics are a celebration of the desire to live fully.

Péťa, Kája, right? Look how they understand it.

Do you know why Šimon films everything on his camera?

Because he thinks this world is beautiful!

With all its colors, smells and tastes.

Smell is the most essential thing life can offer you.

You already know the smell of a woman, right, Šimon?

The smell of a woman, yeah.

He knows that smell. And we all know the smell of roasted meat.

But I want you to smell the victory!

- You smell it? - Yeah!

Let's fucking go!

That was good, Dan. There's life in you, fuck.

Czechs! Czechs! Czechs!

Czechs! Czechs! Czechs!

That was ours, our ball!

Back to your bench, Genghis boys!

That's our ball!

Don't yell at the referee.

Theater is done from the inside, not from outside.

Time-out!

- We need a three. - Let's run it for Marty.

No, Marty's subbing out and you too, Tibor.

Kája goes in, Péťa goes in, Šimon stays. Vilém… where's Vilém?

- Here! - And Roman.

This five for the last play? Are you kidding?

Kája, Péťa and Šimon belong here and it's right.

Vilém has insane luck and Roman… is the tallest.

That's how the game is.

Vilém will pass you the ball, you pull the defenders and pass it back to him.

- Ball along the perimeter… - What perimeter?

The perimeter of fate!

And we shoot for three! Balls like petards…

We fight for the retards!

Come on, Czechs, come on!

We don't deserve these gold medals.

We mainly wanted to play here, right?

Yeah.

What does it feel like?

A friend once told me that the greatest

heroes in this world are the handicapped.

It's hard to win when you're down 20-0 before the first quarter.

You wouldn't wish that on anyone.

But the hardest is when you see your own child losing 20-0…

at the start of life.

You can't explain that to him.

You want fair conditions for him.

Back home we didn't have enough players in F70 and F71 categories.

But I wanted to make my boy's dream come true.

The truth is there are only three players in our team who meet the criteria.

I'm sorry, I wanted my son to be able to participate.

He's a great player, a great son and he really wanted to be here.

Find out who played fair and give them the gold. I'm sorry.

I knew it, you Czech bastards!

Dušky, hold me back or I'll kick him to pieces!

At least we confessed, unlike you!

Radek!

Let's go!

Dudes, where are you? I nicked a bus!

I'm proud of you!

Dad, thanks for telling them.

The little one has to play the ball.

Maybe it'll be a zebra!

Marek! I thought there was nothing worse than the guide dog with rabies.

I'm sorry, Radek.

Whoever doesn't jump isn't Czech, hop-hop-hop!

You're Slovak, Richard!

Whoever doesn't jump isn't Czech, hop-hop-hop!

Embezzlement of state subsidies. If his father knew…

If his father knew, he'd know he didn't betray basketball.

Marek has the heart of an amputee, Mrs. Jedličková.

Man, first steps. And already traveling!

- Plums! - Leave our coach alone!

I know, I like him.

Dedicated to Jaroslav Karásek, who brought basketball to the Czechia.
