Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
In this standard drama with universal overtones, ethics, sensitivity, and the arts are pitted against winning at any cost. The leader of each camp is embodied in a schoolteacher who loves music and art and encourages students in that direction, and a ruthless handball coach who loves to win so he can advance his own reputation. When the coach begins to coerce his students into cheating in order to come out ahead, he does not realize how much his lack of morals affects the young men on the handball team. The results are nearly tragic.
