Plot

In the throes of the Spanish Civil War and its turbulent aftermath, Ramiro Forteza, a premier league goalkeeper, finds himself trading the stadium for obscure hamlets, monetizing his talent in a unique fashion - challenging the locals to a penalty shootout. His life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Manuela, a resilient young widow and her son in an Asturian village. Earning their living through sewing for the stern Úrsula, wife of the domineering Civil Guard sergeant Andrade, they present a stark contrast to his former life. Forteza's striking exhibitions and his blooming relationship with Manuela don't go unnoticed, drawing the unwelcome attention of Andrade. A proposal soon follows, tying Forteza to the resistance movement and thrusting him into a vortex of conflict. The Goalkeeper is a taut narrative of survival, love, and courage, set against the backdrop of a country torn apart by war.
