Wissenswertes
Looking for more realism, director Javier Fesser wanted non-professional actors, but real-life disabled people for the basketball team. All of them make their debut with this movie.

Patzer
The employee of the shop looks very much after his motor home, and he is very reluctant to lend it. As an example of how much he takes care of the van, he mentions that he uses 98 octane petrol (gas). Motor homes in Spain (except for a few very old ones) run on diesel.

Zitate
Marco: My job is to train normal players. These guys aren't players, or normal.
Julio: And who is normal, Marco? Are you and I normal?

Crazy Credits
There is one more scene just before the closing credits are complete.

Oranges and Lemons. CHAMPIONS!

Marco Montes after an heated argument turning into him pushing the head coach, gets drunk and crashes into a police car. His driving license is revoked and to avoid prison, he is offered a community service where he gets to coach intellectually disabled basketball team. This turns his life around as he learns what it feels to be a team and a better human, spending time coaching and even mends his relationship with his wife. Will his team win the championship forms rest of the story.

The film's strength is it's inspiring story and the lovable team from Los Amigos. The performances instantly clicked with me and also Javier Gutierrez as Marco. The screenplay does get convenient in the second half and a couple of scenes do get over dramatic but they can be easily ignored as the story itself is engaging enough till the end. There is a perfect balance between the humor and the dramatic moments. Definitely recommended.
