Wimbledon is approaching. Our Bosnian-Dutch title favorite, Viktor, is denied entry due to a looming Balkan war. While Viktor lives for tennis alone, he unwillingly becomes a pawn in a political game.
There is no sport in which the mental pressure can mount as intensely as in tennis. Its scoring system is designed to keep piling on the pressure, even when you're in the lead. Much like the constant criticism Novak Đoković faces, Viktor is also expected to conform to the expectations of Western audiences and media.
In addition to the cultural gap between his homeland and the Netherlands, the endless travel from tournament to tournament starts to take its toll. The tennis player no longer feels truly at home anywhere. He has trained his whole life to win Grand Slams, but no one has prepared him for the ruthless serves of the press, politics, and the public.
Top actor and tennis fanatic Vanja Rukavina creates a dream alter ego in Viktor, confronting the growing pressure from two cultures head-on.
