About
The Chadian national team is unique in soccer. For decades, it has suffered nothing but defeats, failures, and disappointments. Les SAO (The Giants) have never qualified for an international competition final, whether it be the Africa Cup of Nations or the World Cup. Ballon de sable is the story of two football fanatics, Rapide, a former footballer and current coach, and Ezai, a midfielder for the Chadian national team. The film brings to life their deep emotions, frustrations, and shattered dreams.
