Perhaps we need a documentary about the allure of belonging  to a group of ultras, as fanatical supporters of a soccer club are called in large parts of the world. A lot of us need it explained, but this film, a love letter to that culture, will likely appeal only to the kind of supporters who feel misunderstood by the rest of the world.

The director herself is a huge soccer fan who makes her belief clear throughout the film: ultras is all about family, about belonging, and the police are their natural enemy. Most of the time she turns a blind eye to the violence that’s part of this culture.

A tad desperate in its persuasion attempts, but has impressively varied encounters with fans on several continents.

2025-Sweden-Denmark-Finland. 88 min. Color. Written, directed and narrated by Ragnhild Ekner.
