Based upon the real-life events of the 1910s, the story is about a man from the lowest social strata who, in order to be with his beloved woman, had to leave his native land and start his life anew in Moscow. After proving himself in a battle, he was noticed by an Englishman who owned a closed soccer club and invited him to try out for the team. However, soccer is presented as an aristocratic game and the team did not accept a barge-hauler from the Volga. He then gathered people with whom he created the Wild League, consisting of street teams from Moscow. He became a leader, changing his life and the lives of people surrounding him. The character Varlamy replaced folk fun - battles of "wall against the wall", in which ordinary people perished - with soccer. They are then challenged by the soccer lawmakers.Дикая лига, 2019
