A short as puckish as the kids it depicts, in which a soccer game is rendered absurd by the fact that these self-proclaimed ten-year-olds are played by adults. In place of speech, they just mash their mouths together, with the translation supplied by silent film-style intertitles, while the soundtrack’s looping ’70s pop ballad compounds the sense of development arrested.
