Skip it. Without critic validation and a plot that sounds like a generic sports drama about Indonesian football unknowns, this documentary lacks the narrative hook or cultural buzz to justify your evening. There's no indication this rises above well-intentioned local sports storytelling.

In the uncertainty of Indonesian football conditions, Aldian is trying to survive amidst the league stoppage while Ronaldo strives to become a football athlete.
