The Rheims' Stadium team, was not France's best team, but it was undoubtedly "France's" team... From the director's point of view, who was 10 years old in 1958, the Rheims' Stadium team, is the best team in the world. It is his team. The team of his "red and white" childhood, such as the stadium's colours. 40 years later, the director, mixes his personal memories (family, places and holy objects) with those of his childhood heroes: Kopa, Fontaine, Piantoni and Colonna. Everyone talks about the 1950-1962 period as being Soccer's last romantic period, one without television nor sponsor nor huge financial means. On the field, imagination is active. From the bleachers viewpoint, it looks easy. The spectator-narrator can dream of imitating his heroes. During fifteen years, the famous " rheimoise way" will enchant all the world's stadiums. Before the fall.
