Cast:Stephen Frost, Tony Hawks, Anatol Durbala

A true story that is at first a bet which transforms into a novel that becomes an international best-seller, and last but not least, turns into a highly peculiar, funny and emotional film… Directed by writer and comedian Tony Hawks, this film masterfully brings together tennis, Moldovans, and British humor. Tony’s adventure begins while watching the football match between England and Moldova during the World Cup. He bets that he can play tennis against each and every one of the footballers in the Moldovan team and win. After finding himself in Moldova to meet the footballers in person, Tony sets out on a life-changing adventure in this lesser-known Eastern European country.
