Synopsis
On the football field you decide not only the fate of the championship, but the life of those who have decided to change their lives. Who for money as Italo, the president of "Sporting" who has played everything he has on the result - who for honor, like Mr. Bulla, the coach who has never won nothing - and who to pursue a dream, like Antonio, the team captain who wants to become a footballer. While outside the field the world continues to to live, to die and to be full of contradictions, during the match the time it stops because that is the most important moment of all time
Director's note
"La Partita" is a film that takes us straight into the heart of Rome and Italy nowadays, framing its weaknesses and contradictions. The all-encompassing passion for the soccer is the angle through which all the characters are put in perspective. The lesson is: the soccer is not only a game even when you play, and you have to put your ears and your heart to those moments when everything converges and time crystallizes because everything is too intense.
