As the first African team ever to do so, Somalia has just signed up for the Bandy World Championships. The young players don't live in Somalia; they live in Borlänge, Sweden, where xenophobia has taken hold.

Plot

The city of Borlänge has in the last couple of years become the home town of 3,000 Somalis. A group of young male Somalis get together to form the first Somali bandy team, as a way of integrating into society. Aided by entrepreneur Patrik Andersson and coached by bandy star Pelle Fosshaug they begin by learning of basics of using ice skates with the ambition of playing for Somalia in the World Championships in Irkutsk, Russia. There are many problems that must be solved before the team members have their ticket to the championships. And how do you explain bandy to relatives back home in Somalia?
