The first European Championship in basketball is about to take place in Geneva. The event is organized by FIBA, the newly established international basketball organization and European national teams are going to play each other for the first time. Each wants the honour of being the first European champion.
Meanwhile, in Latvia, coach Valdemārs Baumanis is convinced that he can gather a team and get it to Geneva. However, on his journey he quickly learns that triumph and defeat are all part of the game. Baumanis encounters many difficulties, as well as unexpected help from those closest to him. Against all odds, the team’ s determination to persist and win is rewarded when the unknowns from Latvia end up defeating the favoured competitors.
