Famous Travnik Gymnasium building after the war in Bosnia has been divided into 2 schools. Christmas football tournament is the only thing that unites children from both schools.

Following the war in Bosnia, the once renowned Travnik Gymanasium was divided into two parts by colour and a fence. One part is for Croatian and another for Bosnian students. There are no contacts between them although they share the same school building. The principal of the Croatian part decides to organize a football tournament so that the students can meet and get to know each other. Some of them think that socializing with others is something very natural, while others don’t share the same view. The film centres around the captains of the two football teams.
