Sideline plot

After a lingering knee injury, Moses Adams (28), a former Nigerian international, has to accept that his football career is over and he has no more income. He decides to set up his own football academy in his home country of Nigeria. Like many local football agents, he will seduce boys with big promises and thus maintain the football carousel. After all, he himself was one of the many African football players who came to Europe to fulfill his football dream, following the example of Didier Drogba. Unfortunately, the dream of many African talents soon shattered. For some, failure is not an option: they continue to roam around Europe, without papers and without a safety net.
