Little Tsatsiki, son of a single mother in Sweden, has never met his father, a Greek fisherman. Tsatsiki befriends a nice but straight-laced motorcycle policeman renting one of their rooms and decices he is the right guy for his mother, an amateur rock singer in love with her band's bass player.

In the small Swedish town of Stensfors, the local football team faces dissolution unless it can win its remaining matches. Team member Kent recruits former 1980s Premier League star Duncan Miller to help, only to discover their hero is out of shape, alcoholic, and far from match-ready.

When Tsatsiki's girlfriend breaks up with him, his world falls apart in a few weeks. His best friend abandons him, and the trip to Greece may be cancelled. Luckily, Tsatsiki has his grandfather and together they go on a trip to Greece, where Tsatsiki will learn what's most important in life.
