This film is about ice-hockey, about sweat and blood. Hockey personages emerging and hockey legends being born - Helmuts Balderis, Mihails Vasiļonoks, Juris Reps, Artūrs Irbe and others.
This film tells about the last season of Sandis Ozoliņš, a legend in ice-hockey, and the first season of Artis Ābols, as a head coach. It's a story about the most successful "Dinamo Rīga" season in KHL so far.
We'll be present at a pre-game team meeting, where filming is normally forbidden. We'll be closer to the team than anyone else.
From Riga's "Daugava" and second league to Riga's "Dinamo" and silver medals. Players' superstitions and the passion of the fans. Emotions and beautiful goals. Ice-hockey as a battle with self.
We'll look for answers - what is the base for success in ice-hockey? We'll meet people who shaped hockey in Latvia and in Riga's Dinamo (Viktors Tihonovs, Elmārs Bauris, Vladimirs Jurzinovs, Pjotrs Vorobjovs, Ēvalds Grabovskis, Jānis Kvēps).
Together with Normunds Sējējs and Mārtiņš Grundmanis we'll visit the former Kandava sports centre. We'll remember the days when, in order to get into the hockey venue, one had to queue at the counter already the evening before. People who had come to the game in a drunken state were publicly shamed, and those who re-sold tickets were called speculators and arrested.
A documentary film by Sandijs Semjonovs about the rise of a hockey legend - a "Legend Dinamo".
