Storyline

In the 21st century, sensational international fraud cases keep emerging. There are 'exam cheaters' paid to sit exams for others, and also people posing as disabled individuals forming a 'very basketball team' to 'win' the gold medal in basketball at the 2000 Sydney Paralympics?! This seemingly unbelievable movie plot is actually adapted from a true story: a basketball coach, fearing the loss of government funding, recruits seven unemployed men and two disabled athletes to form a basketball team and fly to Australia to compete in the Paralympics. But achieving inclusion between disabled and able-bodied is easier said than done. From the basketball court to the dormitory and locker room, the seven 'fake disabled' players cause endless comedic situations. Cynical and dismissive of everything around them, they are moved by the immense enthusiasm and effort of disabled athletes from various countries, learning to let go of prejudice and work together to play well. An international sports scandal that tells the story of the beautiful side of human nature, rekindling the will to fight and hope in life.
