Máxima Pena
Juanjo Giménez Peña
Felipe García Vélez, Joan Carreras
At the bench, the coach and three reserve players, including a sleepy goalkeeper. The game is about to start. Our team needs to win. The coach paces nervously and relays instructions to the players on the field... But the coach's attention to the ongoing game is repeatedly interrupted by family members, from the youngest to the oldest, who come one by one to remember him that a significant family gathering is about to take place and that his presence is needed. The coach is reluctant to leave the field on account of the importance of winning this game. What is this important gathering? Are his priorities proper?

Daniela Feixas, Vicente Gil
"One of the thematic lines that Juanjo Giménez's cinema has covered is dedicated to football. In addition to Rodilla, his shorts Libre indirecto (1997) and Máxima pena (2005) bring us closer to this world, whose passion is not so much in the big leagues and championships, but in the emotional universe that cinema is for many people."
