Marco is the second coach of a basketball team in the Spanish first division. He has problems at work, with his partner, and with almost everything around him. One day, in the middle of a game, these frustrations explode in the shape of a huge altercation with the first coach, sending him off on a binge ending in a traffic accident that lands him in court. While he loses his job and his relationship falls to pieces, he is sentenced to coach a very special basketball team. To his great surprise, Marco will be the one who will truly learn from his adventure with a team where the love of living and attention to the things that really matter prevail.
