Plot

PlotCanada British English Canadian Flag icon

Bruno is a thirty-year-old man from Rome with a wife and an infant son. Unfortunately he still hasn’t found his path in life. http://laltraitalia.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/479G2069_0.jpg

After his latest failure, which cost him most of his savings, he has an outlandish and bold intuition: he discovers the little-known winter sport of curling and decides to start a team to participate in the selections for the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics.

And so it begins, the march of the Assault Penguins, a rag tag team ready to fight its way through a plethora of obstacles and improbable situations all the way to the podium. Will these underdogs make it?

 

 

Trama

TramaItaly flag

E’ il sogno olimpico di quattro uomini disagiati che scoprono per caso il gioco del curling e si convincono di poter partecipare alle Olimpiadi Invernali di Torino 2006 dove l’Italia, paese ospitante, avrà di diritto una squadra qualificata.25041_ppl

S’ingegnano in allenamenti improbabili, trovano scappatoie alle regole, provocano gli avversari e finiscono per diventare campioni italiani, acquisendo così il diritto di partecipazione alle Olimpiadi. Per riuscirci dovranno però diventare uomini migliori.

La loro è una storia di riscatto individuale e familiare, prima ancora che sociale.
