- Johan is a 35 year old soccer fan, unemployed but living by his wits and charm. During the World Championships in 1990 all Swedes want to follow the games, including Johan who doesn't own a TV. He gets himself invited to friends or goes to bars to see matches. He is pursued by two hitmen, as he owes money for a grand piano he was supposed to sell. Johan seeks the help of down-and-out Kenneth to avoid bodily harm. Kenneth arranges for Johan to smuggle 15 Iraqi from Frankfurt to Sweden. On the same night Sweden plays the fateful game against Costa Rica...
