About the Film:
Walter, an accountant at heart and on the job, is forced to transfer from his small town and take a position in a Milan company. The owner, who is passionate about soccer, makes his employees engage in weekly soccer games. Walter, who doesn’t like soccer, offers to be the goalie. But he allows too many goals and his colleagues rename him “Zamora”, sarcastically comparing him to the great Spanish goalkeeper of the 1930s. Feeling betrayed and embarrassed in front of a love interest, Walter devises an original plan to take revenge! Can he succeed? Based on the book by Roberto Perrone.
