Will

“Will” is a 2012 British sports drama helmed by Ellen Perry, featuring performances by Damian Lewis, Jane March, and Bob Hoskins. The story begins with young Will Brennan, an eleven-year-old Liverpool enthusiast, who finds himself at a boarding school in southern England. This arrangement follows the passing of his mother, leaving his father, Gareth (played by Lewis), unable to care for him. Unexpectedly, Gareth visits Will with a pair of tickets to witness Liverpool face off against AC Milan in the 2005 Champions’ League Final in Istanbul. Tragically, Gareth passes away before they can attend the match. Driven by a desire to honor his father’s memory, Will embarks on a journey, reaching as far as France. There, he encounters Alek, a former Yugoslavian footballer who quit the sport amid his nation’s civil unrest. Initially hesitant, Alek is moved by Will’s unwavering resolve and decides to assist him in achieving his goal. Through numerous challenges, Will ultimately fulfills his dream, experiencing the match in a way beyond his wildest expectations.
