Tigers is based on the enthralling true story of a young Swedish football prodigy who’s plunged into the seductive and cut-throat industry of global professional sport. Erik is a dedicated 16-year-old footballer whose childhood dream comes true when he is signed by the world famous club Inter Milan. However, he is not prepared for the competitive nature of the sport and the hostility he is met with by his peers. Based on Martin Bengtsson’s autobiographical record of his experiences, Tigers shows a young man being worn down by the pressures of his own ambitions and the doubts in his head, brutalised to the point of self-destruction by the forces giving him exactly what he wants.
