June 1991: The multi-ethnic Yugoslav basketball team is set to compete in the European Championship in Rome, Italy. They are the reigning world and European champions, celebrated as one of the finest generations in the sport's history. However, this championship is unlike any before, as it unfolds against the backdrop of their country's impending dissolution and the shadow of looming war.

'The Lost Dream Team' tells the story of a unique team in sports history—the only team that won the gold medal, stood on the podium, and watched the raising of the flag, all for the glory of a country that ceased to exist just three days earlier.
