In 1983 Don Robson (
George Innes ) started a boys football team called Athletico Greenwich. Twenty years later six of the lads are still playing for the team, but things have got so much more complicated.) is not ready to accept the fact that his father, who started the team all those years ago, is dying.
Whilst it is the Sunday football team that keeps this group of friends together, this is not a film about football. We never even see a ball get kicked. This is a film about complex relationships, and how childhood friends have to change as they mature.
