A film about off-side, penetrating deeply and missed chances

DramaComedy

Seven young men who played soccer together since their early youth grow apart and are forced to think about the nature of their friendship. In a comic way and a very Dutch setting, All Stars is about pregnant girlfriends and homosexuality, career plans and the power of parents.

VIBE

A warm, lived-in feeling permeates this Dutch dramedy. It’s about the awkward, enduring bonds of male friendship, navigating life's messy transitions with a blend of humor and quiet melancholy. Feels like reminiscing with old mates.
