Nothing in the world would make them miss their weekly game...

Comedy

Every Monday evening, at the arena, eleven men get together to lovingly put on the jersey of the Boys, the hockey team of a "garage" league to which they belong. As Stan, their revered trainer, would affectionately say, they have the "puck" tattooed on their hearts. It doesn't matter if they are lawyers, policemen, mechanics or unemployed, as soon as they enter the locker room, everyone forgets their age, their work and their problems.

VIBE

This film feels like a warm hug. It's a gentle, funny look at men finding joy and belonging on the ice, shedding their everyday worries for the love of the game and each other.
