Summary Football's Greatest Ever Fairy Tale. Iceland, with no professional league and the national team coached by a part-time dentist, are the smallest country to ever qualify for the FIFA World Cup Finals. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access, this film follows the Iceland team and their leader, coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, as they head to the finals in Russia. In Iceland we hear from the legion of fans as the entire nation watches and prays. The film also travels to Brazil, the aristocrats of the game, to witness an unlikely transatlantic brotherhood emerging, one forged by football and fuelled by hope. When Heimir leads his team out against Argentina, Iceland's fanbase of 350,000 swells with 190 million Brazilian supporters - cheering on the team that dares to dream. A tale of hope, triumph over near impossible odds, of optimism undimmed and ultimately a story of pride in what can be achieved whatever the odds. This is David v Goliath on Football's biggest stage.
