A story about the Zenit football club and its century-long history: interviews with veterans and current players, former and current managers, cult fans, historians, musicians, theater and film actors, and many others.

Enthusiasts from Russia take on the challenge of restoring one of the most famous British football clubs, which has fallen into decline. Their journey is marked by cultural differences, organizational hurdles, and skepticism from those around them. Gradually, a personal initiative transforms into something greater — an attempt to prove that a love for the game can transcend borders and bring together people with vastly different perspectives.

Under Guus Hiddink, Russia reached the semifinals at the Euro 2008 after beating Netherlands 3-1 against all odds. The entire nation went out on the streets that night. A first-hand account from the players and staff of the Russian national team at the Euro 2008. Andrey Arshavin, Sergey Semak, Sergey Ignashevich, Igor Korneev and others recall their days of glory.

The story of the history and success of the St. Petersburg football club Zenit.

A documentary exploring the fierce rivalry between Russia's two dominant football clubs: Spartak Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg. From the 1990s when Spartak dominated as the nation's beloved team, to the 21st century shift where Zenit rose to prominence, both clubs now stand equal as ten-time national champions. Through archival footage, fan clashes, and player testimonies, the film chronicles their epic competition.

In 2008, Zenit joined the European football elite after winning the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, beating Bayern Munich and Manchester United along the way. Andrey Arshavin, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, Pavel Pogrebnyak and others speak about the road to European glory under Dick Advokaat.

On April 22, 2022, Spartak, one of the most famous football clubs in the world, will turn 100 years old. This is an important date not only for the history of the club, but for the entire national football as a whole. Popular love that goes far beyond Moscow and even Russia is something that no club in our country can boast of. Golden times are replaced by trophy drought, great coaches are replaced by mediocre ones, great victories alternate with the most offensive and even shameful defeats. But the love of the fans and the passion of the fans is the foundation on which the club stands.
