The Third Half is a story of several people gathered around the most important thing in the world – football, in the most turbulent time of the world’s history – the Second World War.  It is a story of the players of FC Macedonia and their German-Jewish coach Rudolph Spitz who leads them towards the champion title of the Nazi football league.  It is a story of the club’s founder Dimitry, who has to choose between his love for his team and his loyalty to the New Order.  It is a story about football, a game that in those terrible times became more than just a game: a battlefield between the Good and the Evil.
