Eleven Men Out is the story of Ottar Thor (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson). A football (soccer) champ in Iceland. He suddenly decides to come out during a press interview, causing havoc with his team, his father (who’s also the coach), his ex-wife, and his son. But at least it gets him moved from the back pages of the magazine to the cover.

Thrown off his professional team, he joins and amatuer one (which already has a couple of “kind of” gay members). Soon the team is attracting more gay players and becomes Iceland’s gay team.

Not as funny as the marketing blurbs led me to believe, but maybe it’s better in the orignial Icelandic.
