The Jonny Owen film tells the story of Wales reaching the semi-finals at the 2016 European Championship in France — a tournament where they were beaten by England in the group stage but basked in their rivals’ humiliating last-16 exit at the hands of Iceland 12 days later, before going on to make the last four.
