MFF is a football team in Malmo with a glorious past, but now it's 1997 and the team hasn't won the premier league the last ten years. The players are young, they play good football, but luck is not on their side. Often they are leading until the last part of the match, when they make some mistakes. Another problem is that the board of MFF has hard to keep the best players, when the players are offered big money from foreign clubs. Anders Andersson is one of these. He is 23 years old and thinks much about his life further on. To earn lots of money during these years would secure his future. When he receives a good offer from Blackburn, England, he cannot resist and leaves MFF in the middle of the season. The biggest supporters of MFF are organized in MFF Support. For many of them MFF is one of the most important elements of their life, and some of the supporters even travel 2500 kilometers to see MFF in a cup match in Croatia. Peter Ahlander is the chairman of MFF Support. He was born with a deformed spine, so he cannot play football himself. Following MFF as a spectator is his way of playing football. The supporter Lasse Nilsson feels almost a complete union between himself and the football team. When MFF is defeated he is depressed for a week, has hard to sleep and even talk in his sleep about MFF. He thinks himself that his emotional engagement in MFF is too much and not good for him, but doesn't know what to do to cut it down.
