El portero

In the dusty villages of post-civil war Spain, a peculiar goalkeeper has made it his mission to test the mettle of locals against penalty kicks, earning him a living and a measure of fame among the rural communities. This is the story of Ramiro Forteza, a charismatic figure with a penchant for drama and a knack for bringing people together - or driving them apart - in the small town of Asturias where he arrives one evening, sparking an unlikely friendship with Manuela, a young widow struggling to raise her son amidst the war-torn landscape. With its blend of drama and sport, "El portero" is a powerful exploration of human connection and resilience in the face of adversity.
