When the charismatic Sepp Piontek resigns as manager of the national Danish football team, the logical successor is his assistant, Richard Møller Nielsen (played by Ulrich Thomsen).

Director Kasper Borfoed was there to watch the Euro final in 1992, and dreamed of making a film capturing those turbulent weeks when everything changed.
