Olympics

Directed by Dani de la Orden and Àlex Murrull, 'Olympics' is based on the epic true story of the Spanish water polo team, which achieved one of the most impressive sporting feats of the Barcelona 92 Olympic Games. The film stars Jaime Lorente and Álvaro Cervantes, who give life to the two heavyweights of the national team, Pedro García Aguado and Manel Estiarte, and reconstructs through a script written by Carlos Franco, the effort, tension, suffering, illusion and companionship of a legendary team that fought to achieve the greatest dream of an athlete: Olympic gold. A few months before the Olympics, the Spanish water polo team has all the numbers to pass without shame or glory. They are unprepared and need a knockout blow if they are not to make fools of themselves playing on home soil. Everything changes with the arrival of a new coach with a reputation for toughness and unorthodox working techniques. Tension mounts as Estiarte and Aguado clash over the way they understand the sport, but through hard work, teamwork and the support of the whole country, they will prove together that they can make it to the top. The film is producted by Playtime Movies, Sábado Películas, Lightbox Animation Studios and Imminent Produccions. It will be distributed in Spain by Universal Pictures.
