Kim Won-kang is a former soccer talent whose life is falling apart. After a collapsed business, in October 2001 he ended up in Southeast Asian East Timor, which had only gained independence in 2002 after a long war of liberation. Since he lacks the necessary money, Kim wants to leave the country again when he sees children playing football barefoot. He came up with the idea of making money by selling football boots, so he opened a sports shop. But he realizes that none of the children can afford shoes or jerseys. So Kim got the idea to rent shoes for a dollar a day. The boys then make an effort to earn money. Kim recognizes the talent of the guys and even sees the chance of a professional career for them and starts to train them.
The most talented player has problems because his older brother doesn't want him to play with the Korean. The team loses a game for a pig as prize money. Then riots break out and the project is about to end. Kim then uses his contacts and manages to bring a youth team from East Timor to the renowned international youth tournament in Hiroshima . There the team comes to the final.
