Inspired by actual events at a monastery overcome by 1998 World Cup soccer fever, the film will screen Thursday through Sunday, Feb. 1-4. It is also a very funny movie, alive with a sense of absurdity and human foible. The film tackles the issues of winning and losing, life in exile, and the impact of the modern world on a highly traditional lifestyle. Membership in the International Film Society entitles community members to purchase tickets to IFS presentations and films sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the Student Senate throughout the year.
