Celebration in a country of basketball. Lithuania, probably the only country in the world where basketball is routinely described as a religion, hosts the most important basketball event of the year - the European basketball championship or EuroBasket 2011. The biggest nation's pride, Lithuania's national basketball team has a long winning tradition. The entire Lithuania is waiting only for the gold. However the team's star player Linas Kleiza has suffered a serious injury and will not be playing for the championship.

The documentary series "Krepšinio namai" is dedicated to the occasion of the centenary of Lithuanian basketball. The first basketball match in Lithuania was played in 1922, between the national team of the temporary capital and the Lithuanian Physical Education Union. This match is considered the beginning of basketball in our country. It would probably be difficult to find a person in the country who does not admire the achievements of our basketball players, and it will never be enough to be happy about what made Lithuania famous all over the world. There is no doubt that basketball has had a huge impact on Lithuania itself, and the documentary series will also reveal the cultural, social and political significance of sporting events.

In November of 2018, at 38 years of age, Pau Gasol injured the navicular bone of his left foot. After many setbacks and two surgeries, Pau begins his recovery to do something no professional athlete has been able to do before: play again. His goal is clear: to compete in the Tokyo Olympics.
