Tom Vaughan-Lawlor stars opposite Bill Nighy and Micheal Ward in The Beautiful Game, the feelgood football film coming to Netflix later this month.
The synopsis for The Beautiful Game reads: "Mal (Bill Nighy, Living, About Time) is the manager of England's homeless football team, taking his players to Rome with the hope of being crowned champions of the Homeless World Cup, a global street soccer tournament.
"At the last minute, he decides to bring with them a talented striker, Vinny (Micheal Ward, Empire of Light, The Book of Clarence), who could give them a real chance at winning, but only if he's ready to let go of his past and become part of the team.
"Made with the support of the Homeless World Cup, The Beautiful Game is a film of second chances - where homeless teams from around the world find that all roads lead to Rome, and everything's to play for."
Irish star Vaughan-Lawlor plays the team's goalkeeper, Kevin, and the cast also includes Susan Wokoma, Callum Scott Howells, Kit Young, Sheyi Cole, Robin Nazari, Aoi Okuyama, Cristina Rodlo, Tadashi Watanabe, Kazuhiro Muroyama, and Valeria Golino.
The Beautiful Game is directed by Thea Sharrock (Wicked Little Letters, The One and Only Ivan, Me Before You) and is written by Frank Cottrell Boyce (Doctor Who, 24 Hour Party People, Welcome to Sarajevo).
It arrives on Netflix on Friday 29 March.
