The Lunch Break (short)
The boys of 5-B plan a soccer game for the lunch break, regardless of the fact that the gym is closed for an after-school teachers’ meeting. But after the principal catches them and sends two of them to the discipline committee, the rest of the kids refuse to leave their friends behind. Directed by Ozan Yoleri.
Saudade (short)
The Portuguese writer Manuel de Melo defined the saudade in 1660 as “the joy that is suffered, and the suffering that is enjoyed,” which perfectly describes the life of a soccer fan. Directed by Pedro Segarra + Jorge Bravo.
