The movie will tell about the famous tour of the Dynamo Moscow football club to the British Isles in November 1945. Then the Soviet team was nicknamed "Eleven Silent Men in Blue Coats" by the foreign press.

To make the story more exciting for the audience, the director added a fictional adventurous-romantic plot line related to the affair between Soviet football player Vsevolod Bobrov and British journalist Abby.
