A warm, comedic ensemble drama about seven lifelong friends navigating adulthood, identity, and the fragility of male bonds through the lens of soccer and Dutch domesticity.

Seven young men who played soccer together since their early youth grow apart and are forced to think about the nature of their friendship. In a comic way and a very Dutch setting, All Stars is about pregnant girlfriends and homosexuality, career plans and the power of parents.
