Synopsis
On a lazy summer afternoon family road trip, a 10- year-old boy lays on the backseat of
the car and drifts away in a daydream. He envisions a rivalry with a gang of feral kids, a
fight for supremacy in the shape of a football. His reverie soon surpasses the unpredictable reality and continues even after death.
