With the help of top footballer Yoon Hong-Dae, the film consists of frequent humorous exchanges amongst the members as the team undergoes training in preparation for the competition. The comedic film offers emotional perspectives as well, delving deeper into the lives of being homeless - showing their unfair living conditions coupled with ostracization by the public on a day-to-day basis.
