A few months before the Barcelona 92 Olympics, the Spanish water polo team has all the numbers to pass without glory. They are unprepared and need a hit if they don't want to make a fool of themselves playing in their own home. That coup comes quickly in the form of a new coach with a reputation for being tough, and more than questionable work techniques. As if that were not enough, the team has two leaders facing each other because of how they understand this sport: Manel Estiarte and Pedro García Aguado. But thanks to a superhuman effort, teamwork, and the support of a whole country, they will show the world that they can go beyond where they never imagined.

3/5
Without renouncing the sports film structure, it centers spectacularly on the discovery of the team, specifically the characters played by Jaime Lorente and Álvaro Cervantes, and the importance of teamwork. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
