The Home Game

Twenty-five years ago, Vidar Gylfason from the tiny fishing village of Hellissandur (population: 369) in Iceland created a real-life field of dreams for his town by constructing a national FA Cup regulation football pitch, but no team ever set foot on it. Now, Vidar’s spirited son Kari is determined to bring football glory to Hellissandur and fulfill his father’s original dream.
