Two precarious workers, a pensioner, and an old bully discover the sport of curling by chance and decide to compete at the 2006 Winter Olympics held in Turin, in which Italy automatically has a qualified team being the host country. Despite being highly motivated, the four friends have little experience and their training methods are unrefined to say the least; moreover, their families strongly disapprove of their new project. The Olympics will change their lives in unexpected ways.
Directed by Claudio Amendola, 2013.
