Unbeatables

Amadeo lives in a small, uneventful town. He works in a bar, plays table football better than anyone and he is in love with Laura. His simple routine falls to pieces when Grosso, a young local boy turned best football player in the world, returns determined to take revenge for the only game he has ever lost in his life. With the table football, the bar and even his soul in pieces, Amadeo discovers something magical: the players in his beloved table football can speak and have a life of their own! Together they set out on an adventure-packed voyage to save Laura and the village; and to become a real team as they go.

"The film invokes those values that are most important to children.... [There is a] precise arrangement of every emotion in its place.... Campanella demonstrates technical mastery." (E. Rodríguez Marchante: Diario ABC)
