  Sweden's National Soccer Team has a new player, in this sports adventure drama. The team's star player (in real life as well as in this feature) Magnus "Mackan" Haerenstam is playing pick-up soccer with a five-year old boy, hardly paying any attention at all, when he begins to notice that the boy is good, and that he is really having to work hard to keep up with him. To his disgust, he discovers that the boy is far better at dribbling than he is. He quits the team and has the boy known as "The Butt" (Johan Bergman) take his place. One highlight for fans of soccer is soccer-star Georg "Aby" Erickson's appearance as one of the boy's teammates.
