Ahead of the 2018 World Cup, cameras follow a crew of Russian football hooligans as they train for organized brawls with foreign fan groups. The men treat fighting as a discipline, running drills in forests and gyms, comparing tactics, and explaining an unwritten code that bars weapons and targets only fellow hooligans rather than ordinary fans or police. Interviews trace how these firms grew out of post-Soviet street culture and why some members see the coming tournament as a chance to test themselves against English, German, and Polish crews with reputations of their own. The film does not shy from the violence, showing footage of past clashes and the injuries that come with them, but its more interesting material is the domestic side: wives, day jobs, and the strange normalcy these men maintain between fights. It ends with the tournament looming and the hooligans confident that Russia's streets, not its stadiums, will decide who wins the real contest.
