In nine episodes, we follow the journey of our national team to Uruguay, which began by train from Belgrade through Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, all the way to the French port of Marseille, where they boarded the ocean liner Florida to continue their voyage to Montevideo.
The journey of our national football team begins by train to Marseille, which will later continue by ship to Uruguay. The players and the management settle into the train, unaware that little Stanoje is hiding there, trying not to be noticed by the conductors.
The train carrying our football delegation suddenly stops so that Baroness Helena Klodovska and her mother, escorted by the gendarmerie, can board. Confusion arises on the train because of the two attractive ladies. Živković and Hadži try in every possible way to win the Baroness’s favor, but she will show affection toward someone else. The footballers improvise a Spanish course together to better prepare for their stay in Uruguay.
The worry and despair of the football management over the missing bag full of money even calls into question the continuation of the journey to Montevideo. On top of that, a new problem arises when it is discovered that little Stanoje has set off on the trip without anyone’s consent, without documents or a ticket, raising the dilemma of whether to send Tirke’s lucky charm back to Belgrade.
The train stops in Liechtenstein, where the passengers will spend the night. That evening, everyone spends their time in their own way: the players in camaraderie, Andrejka in interesting company with the older Baroness, and Moša in a new love affair. Boža Dunster makes up for lost time in his relationship with his old love, Baroness Helena, which puts him through great torment and close to the decision not to continue the journey to Montevideo.
At that time, our only professional footballer playing in French clubs, the famous Ivica Bek, who answered the call to be part of the national team, welcomes our squad at the station in France. He joins them as reinforcement for the team on their journey to Montevideo for the First FIFA World Cup.
Our players spend their first evening on the ocean liner Florida, on the way to Montevideo, which is carrying many passengers from different parts of the world. During dinner, the footballers draw the attention of an American passenger. Ivica Bek sees himself as the star compared to his teammates and flirts with a beautiful and provocative American woman. That evening, a storm begins, bringing severe weather at sea, which makes most of the passengers feel sick. A little girl inspires little Stanoje to write her the most beautiful love letter.
On the journey to Montevideo aboard the ocean liner Florida, the footballers train on deck and engage in games, attracting the attention of passengers and crew. Dunster introduces the team to the old game “rotten mares,” joined by Archie, an American football enthusiast, with unexpected results. Little Stanoje grows sad when his love letter goes unanswered, while Tirke, Moša, and Milutinac try to cheer him up. The players also play a prank on Ivica Bek, who continues to see himself as the team’s star.
With the ninth episode of the TV series On the Way to Montevideo, the series concludes, depicting the journey of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s national football team from Belgrade to Montevideo for the First World Cup…
