90 minutes I france
June 1998, in Vitrolles just like anywhere else, the World Cup fever is rising. Cédric, a young black man aged 18, is doing everything he can to make his father, a legionnaire of Cape Verdean origin, proud. But when the newly-elected far-right municipality deprives him of his first job, he loses his bearings. His younger brother Stanley, aged 12, dreams of being a footballer and spends his summer following the victories of the French team. As they win match after match, emphasizing a multicultural ideal onto the pitch, racism intrudes violently into the daily lives of the two brothers, leaving its mark on them forever…
