First of all, that Foolwhich is a nice mix of epic and Lombard to refer to football, which was not for nothing shaped by his arch-mate Gianni Brera. 30-year-old Walter Vismara, educated in numbers and an accountant at heart, knows little about football, the derby or MilanInter. a Mr. precisiontti, a mama’s boy and shy. In the small factory in Vigevano, so to speak infant prodige: Walter sits at the desk like cheese on macaroni. But the boss, a friend of his father, decided to sell: not because he was in a crisis, but to enjoy the sun. with his quarrelsome and tyrannical wife. So he recommends the good young man to Cavaliere Tosetto’s modeling company Milan by Cumenda, Bauscia and Dan. It’s a big family: God, Tosetto, the seals. And that Fool. Then the fateful question: Vismara, what role do you play?
In the company, your career is a reflection of the weekly challenges on the field with training, teasing and petty betrayals.Walter has to survive and pretends to be a goalkeeper. But Folber is denying this: The first tests are catastrophic. So much so that everyone in the company, to make fun of him, calls him Zamora, after the great Spanish goalkeeper for Real and Barcelona in the 1930s. The big boy then asks for lessons from one Giorgio Cavazzoni, the former Milan number one who fell into disgrace because of a hostess and gambling: his wife is gone and his son doesn’t want to see him anymore.
An agreement is reached between the two, triggering a race for redemption. Meanwhile, Vismara falls in love with the secretary Ada and goes to the cinema with her on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to see Julia of the ghosts . The two are romantic, they like each other without understanding each other, they seem to be made for each other. Instead, another disappointment: Walter has a misunderstanding; he believes (wrongly) that Ada has come to an understanding with her brash colleague. The end of a kind and desirable love as training in the arena becomes increasingly tough under the eyes of old coach Marino Bartoletti. Walter’s sister, actually separated, embarks on an escapade with the redeemed Cavazzoni and later warns the magnanimous Walter: All it takes is one disappointment and you’ll fall silent: you’re presumptuous, Walter.
Along the way, the young man learns to throw, dare and land on his feet. The final challenge is a success: the hateful colleague has to cope with defeat, Ada jumps for joy in the stands and there is even someone who suggests a semi-professional future for the new champion. The merit of Zamora, Neri Marcor’s debut behind the camera, is to evoke along the lines of There is still tomorrow by Paola Cortellesi, a distant, friendly and chubby world: the Milan of the economic boom, the rebellious Palts, the trattorias and the Trani a Gog, the reasonableSunday pasta, herbal liqueur and noodle dishes that would bring someone who had died back to life. The Matrix, the beautiful novel by Roberto Perrone, historical signature of Corriere della Sera (HarperCollins). Marcor reserves the role of the disillusioned Cavazzoni to Alberto Paradossi, 34 years old,comes from the TV series Studio Battaglia and from Standup comedy New York accountant Vismara has an excellent attitude. The cast also includes Marta Gastini, Anna Ferraioli Ravel, Giacomo Poretti, Giovanni Storti, Antonio Catania, Ale and Franz.
Paradossi says: Meeting Marcor was like meeting a relative. I belong to the generation I grew up with The eighth dwarf. Neri emphasized: We have to imagine an Antonioni film in a comedic way. Walter actually had to be him, Marcor, but twenty years ago. The film, partly shot in Turin, is about the sense of responsibility and the relationship between fathers and children: the portrait of proud men, il Vismara e il Cavazzoni who make mistakes because they give in to fear.
