The Champion
What makes a genius?
Directed by Carlos Therón
Produced by Mod Producciones
A warm, character-driven comedy about an arrogant young soccer star and a withdrawn professor learning to understand each other through unlikely mentorship.
Diego has just been voted best young player in Europe and at the age of 20 he is on his way to making his team, Atlético de Madrid, champions of La Liga. But his impulsive and conflictive character makes the club, fed up with his excesses, hire Álex, a withdrawn and lonely psychology professor, to improve his behaviour. The two will have no choice but to learn to understand each other.
