Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

Entertaining to anyone who has experienced the fanaticism of sports fans, this comedy about the competition between two professional soccer teams revs up the action among the wildly enthusiastic spectators. A playoff match between two city teams in a national competition is scheduled for a Sunday, and Mustapha (Slim Mahfoudh) decides to hedge his bets. On Saturday, he joins a few friends in an informal pep rally for their favorite team, but decides to surreptitiously place a bet on the other team. Sunday comes and Mustapha's wife is left alone, so she pursues a dalliance with his cousin. At the stadium, fans get into fist fights, and Mustapha and his friends root with the other spectators, for better or for worse.
