Basketball players on the court, businessmen in their spare time, and bearers of the spirit of freedom in Lithuania – that’s the Žalgiris team of 1979-1989. Historic battles against the Red Army, unforgettable for those who witnessed them, and something the new generation must learn about. Legendary basketball faces recall the tough training sessions, the support of their compatriots and the not always legal adventures behind the Iron Curtain. This is a documentary thriller about resistance to the totalitarian system on the basketball court. A sports documentary based on the struggles of the Žalgiris basketball team in the 1980s: the golden age when the team managed to beat the unbeatable CSKA Moscow team several times in a row to become the champions of the Soviet Union. A ticket to a Žalgiris game became a kind of currency, a factor that fuelled the nation's spirit of resistance and later opened up the possibility of writing the history of independent Lithuania.
