November 1945. Football Club Dynamo Moscow players fly to London to play a series of matches with hitherto undefeated British teams, including "Chelsea", "Arsenal", and "Rangers". A charming English correspondent decides to create a sensation by falling in love with the best Russian player, and chooses the prettiest "victim" among the Soviet athletes. Local unscrupulous bookmakers also intend to profit from the tour, within the framework of which the games will be visited by hundreds of thousands of fans... But the "eleven silent men", as the British dubbed the local football players, will present many surprises to everyone! An incredible story based on real events, full of romance, good humor, spy adventures and football passions. Our football players not only did not lose a single match, but also won the hearts of the English public, completely turning its idea of a Russian person and a Soviet country upside down.
