Documentary creator Petter Nyquist gets to know people with substance abuse challenges or mental problems in four different sports environments, which is part of the project «Sport creates chances». Can something as mundane as doing sports help someone who is struggling back to society? Here Petter gets close to the lives of Line and Richard in the cycling group, Anita in the equestrian group, Ole Magnus and Carine on the football team and Morten in the ski group. He follows them in everyday life and in sports for a year, and sees how sport affects their lives.

Practitioners struggle when the pandemic effectively shuts down both relief efforts and training. Coaches must resort to alternative methods to keep the motivation up in the groups.

In the cycling group, plans are made that can be at least as good as the Giro d’italia.
