    • Trivia
      Looking for more realism, director Javier Fesser wanted non-professional actors, but real-life disabled people for the basketball team. All of them make their debut with this movie.
    • Goofs
      The employee of the shop looks very much after his motor home, and he is very reluctant to lend it. As an example of how much he takes care of the van, he mentions that he uses 98 octane petrol (gas). Motor homes in Spain (except for a few very old ones) run on diesel.

      Marco: My job is to train normal players. These guys aren't players, or normal.

      Julio: And who is normal, Marco? Are you and I normal?

    Nice movie, nice crew & a good message
    In the ironic world in which we live today, where the rights for all should be something common and accepted, where discrimination should be a word forgotten by the past, we realize that for nothing sexual,gender rights or worst in basic human rights as being able to be treated the same regardless of physical aspects or medical differences, the human is still being unable to treat the others as he would like to be treated himself .

    In this film we see this reality, but we also see how that assumption we always make in the face of what others can and can not do ends up being wrong.

    The improvement and achievements that for some do not seem to be the great thing, for many is an epic achievement.

    This film is not only well done in the film aspect, it also gave in the background aspect a lesson , that I hope many apply in their lives.

    Not always the best movies have implicit the great effects, famous actors, and millionaire budgets, in this case the casting was perfect choice, the touch that the protagonists in real life are people with "mental disability", and I think they should be an example for many actors that today are more divas than what they act, the movie gave us also a script well taken, turns in to a comedy that takes you to the joy at times, (not simple laughs) and that true feeling sensation , and a very good direction that I think has merits that I hope the academy and the public in general can recognize.

    For last ,remember we all are the same ............HUMANS, the movies should be this, something inclusive, as everything else should be

    A movie that has to be seen by everyone, 100% enjoyable and to have a good time at the cinema
