Milan, the 1960s. Soccer for Walter Vismara is an unfamiliar and hostile planet. As a child at the oratory, when a ball went in, he normally went out. Now if Walter doesn't learn to play as a goalkeeper, he will lose his new job. It's all the fault of a soccer-obsessed boss, a madman who forces his employees to practice every week in preparation for the big game at the end of the year. Thus begins for Walter a never-ending torment, a circle of Hell where the fumes of the locker room are alternated with the most demeaning taunts, all united by the mocking comparison with the great goalkeeper Zamora. But there is never an end to the worst, because Walter catches his beloved in the arms of his great enemy, the man who most of all humiliates him with wicked jokes. Walter has a plan, however. He will continue to practice soccer pretending to be a wimp in order to prove his worth in the end game. How? By training with a lapsed goalkeeper, an ex glory of Milan and the national team who went adrift because of a scandal that has plunged him into an existential abyss. But Walter's revenge and the parable of his redemption, in truth, tell a story of friendship, set in the late 1960s, between two men who manage to change each other, taking charge of their lives and discovering that the most beautiful value to cherish is friendship. A story of friendship between two outsiders, along the lines of Untouchables, which, thanks to the universal code of comedy, deftly combines humor and emotion.
