A film about the most inaccessible part of football fans, that of football hoodlums. They are the most aggressive and cruel of football fans. They are the elite of the near-football community. No matter who they are in real life – students, bankers, musicians or mechanics – they all belong to the same “company”. It is very hard to get accepted into this company, but once you are there, it is for life. There is no way back.

The film is based on real events.
