A military lieutenant sets up a collapsible football post in a remote village in the Southern Philippines to teach the village kids how to play football, aiming to gain the trust of a community that has long been suspected of colluding with terrorists. But what begins as a tactical strategy becomes deeply personal when he forms a bond with the children—especially ten-year-old Khaleel, a child soldier in a violent terror group. The child and the soldier soon teach each other to dream bigger, but the realities of war may force them to learn a more devastating lesson.
