The Interception Game explores the unlikely wartime bond between Ukrainian soldiers and footballers through the true story of the Mykhailenko brothers – Serhii, an air-defense commander, and Mykola, a player on Ukraine's Olympic football team. 

While one risks his life on the frontline, the other represents his nation on the global sporting stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

The film reveals how victories in football offer hope to those in war – and how both battles are fought for the same future. A story of brotherhood, resilience, and the invisible thread connecting stadiums and trenches.
