The film Tigers explores the dreams and nightmares of the soccer industry and of top-level sport in general. In his second feature-length film as director, Ronnie Sandahl looks at the true story of the transfer of 16-year-old footballer Martin Bengtsson to a major Italian club. Martin’s childhood dream soon turns into a chilling nightmare, forcing the naive, enthusiastic youngster to come to terms with a world where everything has its price.
