In this coming-of-age drama, a teenage boy's world is shaken when his mother is killed. To escape troubling memories, he's sent to Canada to stay with friends of the family. He finds an escape from the sorrow of his loss by joining his school's soccer team; he also finds himself falling for the daughter of his soccer coach. But winning her heart proves to be every bit as challenging as winning a hard-fought soccer game, as he learns some hard lessons about life, love, and the playing field. The cast includes Giancarlo Giannini, Burt Young, and Simone Corrente. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
