U.S. Palmese

Quirky, irreverent, and genuinely funny, U.S. Palmese is an homage to classical popular comedy that speaks of solidarity and pride. Two of Italy's most distinctive directors capture the spirit of the world's most beloved sport – and celebrate the radiance of victory.

In Palmi, a small town in Calabria, Don Vincenzo, a brilliant but eccentric retired farmer, comes up with a wild idea to revive the local soccer team: he launches an unconventional community fundraiser, rallying citizens to chip in money to sign Etienne Morville, a Serie A star and one of the best players in the world. Morville, notorious for his bad temper, leaves Milan for Palmi in an effort to repair his image. There, he's confronted with a world rooted in sincerity and simplicity – one that will lead everyone involved to an unforgettable experience.
