Thought of in the1950s as an extension of communist regime propaganda, the Soviet Union ice hockey team impressed the world, introducing a new style of game that privileged tactical organisation and collective achievement. Soon after the collapse of the regime many players migrated to the USA to try their luck with the NHL, but they got lost in the star culture. Through interviews and archive images, the documentary presents the rise and fall of the men behind an extraordinary team. Produced by Werner Herzog. Cannes 2014.
