Messi

Gathered all in the same restaurant, his coaches, childhood friends, teachers, Barça teammates, journalists, writers and football history figures break down and analyze the footballer´s personality, on and off court, highlighting the most significant moments of his career. Through Alex de la Iglesia´s particular optic, “MESSI” recreates the footballer´s childhood and teenage years, from his first steps next to a ball, his decision to leave Rosario for Barcelona, the distancing from his family or the important role that figures like Ronaldinho, Rijkaard, Rexach or Guardiola have played in his career, helping us understand, for example, his way of “celebrating” goals through the special relationship he had with his grandmother and the determination that took a kid from Rosario to the elite of worldwide football. Shot in Buenos Aires, Rosario and Barcelona, “MESSI” brings us closer to the amazing FC Barcelona player through the opinions of football legends such as Menotti, Maradona, Valdano or Cruyff, of the people that have been by his side through his trajectory, archive images, interviews , unheard offamily videos and the recreation of his life´s key moments. The meteoric rise of a kid that never stopped chasing a ball and, with it, a dream.
