Join us to celebrate Macedonian football culture with the 2012 film 'The Third Half' on the eve of the Cymru men's game versus North Macedonia.

Directed by Darko Mitrevski, The Third Half was Macedonia's official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 2013 Academy Awards.

🗓 17 November

Tickets will be available on the Chapter website

What is the 'The Third Half'?

The film deals with Macedonian football during World War II and the deportation of Jews from Macedonia. It is a story of love during wartime and a country's passion for football. Dimitry hires German coach Rudolph Spitz to galvanize his ragtag team into the country's best football club, but then the first N**i tanks roll in and Rebecca, a local banker's beautiful daughter, elopes with his star player.

Mae Dmitry yn hurio hyfforddwr Almaenig er mwyn troi ei dîm o ciaridyms yn dîm gorau’r wlad. Ond yna mae tanciau cyntaf y Natsiaid yn dod i mewn ac mae Rebecca, merch olygus bancwr lleol, yn diflannu gyda seren y tîm.
