Johan van Rijthoven is a modern farmer who will do anything in his power to hand over a healthy farm to his children, like his ancestors before him. Because his cows don’t give enough milk and his business is in danger of going under, the dairy farmer is engaging in a battle with the multinational who delivered three faulty milk robots. A battle that will lead to confrontations with himself, his immediate environment and uncontrollable forces on his farm yard…

At one time a large number of offspring was a privilege of kings and chiefs, a true sign of their royalty. Nowadays, even a tourist guide from an upstanding suburb of Maastricht can father more than sixty children thanks to female emancipation and the Internet. What drives this man?

They were called ‘the golden generation’, the young Yugoslavian soccer players who won the Junior World Soccer Championships in 1987 in Chile. They became world-famous and today play in Rome, Milan and Madrid. But the country they represented in Chile no longer exists. Director Vuk Janic talks with soccer heroes like Zvonimir Boban and Sinisa Mihajlovic and visits the neighbourhoods they grew up in. Via the soccer, he tells the story of the disintegration of his country. The supporter riots in 1990 during the match between Red Star Belgrade and Dinamo Zagreb heralded the imminent war. Shortly after, the team fell apart. Seven years later, as national players of Croatia and little Yugoslavia, they compete in two charged qualification matches for the 2000 European Championships. Soccer is not war, but the war is never far away. The first match in Belgrade has to be cancelled due to NATO bombings, and the two national hymns are drowned in deafening whistles from the audience.
