Kick

Johnson, Mitch

All he can see is the football, waiting for one final kick.
It’s now or never.

Budi wants to be a footballer. But instead of wearing the boots, he makes them in a factory and dreams of a better life.

Then one day when he’s playing football in the street, an unlucky kick brings his world crashing down. Ordered to steal a pair of boots from the factory, Budi’s dreams are on the line, and if he’s caught his life will be as well.

A story about dreaming big and never letting anything stand in your way.
