The remote town of Beartown is lost in the northern Swedish wilderness: beyond that there are only impenetrable forests. Life was once in full swing here, but now unemployment and despair reign. The last hope of the residents is the local junior hockey club, which once took second place in the national championship. Hockey in Beartown is not just a sport: serious passions boil around it, all interests are tied to it, and how destinies will turn out depends on it.
The day of the quarterfinal victory was the happiest day for the city, the club's management, the team, and its seventeen-year-old captain Kevin Erdal. But for fifteen-year-old Maya and her parents it was a terrible day that turned their whole lives upside down...
Every city resident was faced with the need to make a moral choice, to answer the question: what price are you willing to pay for victory?
