Synopsis
A documentary about soccer as played by the visually impaired, starring the members of the ASDD Roma 2000 team in the last weeks of the season: the locker rooms, the training, the games. Each player describes his inner world and how he has turned his disability into a resource.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
I’ve always loved soccer, but this sport can’t just be about those blessed with the gift of sight. Even for “low vision” players, soccer can be a passion and become an opportunity to overcome their disability and reach success. Quattro quinti is thus a film about sport, but above all, the story of the individuals who play it.
