Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Eric, an ordinary man in his mid 30s with an ordinary job, wins a large sum of money playing the lottery. Despite his total lack of talent, he quits his job and sets off to learn how to play soccer. Eric firmly believes that if he spends 10,000 hours of training on what he sets his mind to, he can master just about anything.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
