Growing up into their early twenties, Ballu, Ajay and Rakesh have just had one dream — to attend the FIFA World Cup final. To reach their goal, each one would have to dribble through parental pressures, financial burdens, career dissatisfaction and agonies of love. Only realising the dream would help them sort their lives, or so they think. Thus they book their ticket to adventure for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The journey of their lifetime takes the trio through the cities of Rostov, Sochi and Saint Petersburg acting as their muse. They meet a myriad of people and settle age-old debates about the all-time best players, about mountains and beaches and the left and right of society and football.

And so, they learn who they are; they understand love and longing, and find meaning in mediocracy.
A love triangle between Meera, Brian and the immortal Krishna is fraught with love, hate, passion and heartbreak.

There, he finds himself a slave: unable to scrape together enough mo...
