The Great Match
Karlovy Vary International Film Festival • Comedy
A comedy about three devoted soccer fans, none of whom have ever met, but who nevertheless have two things in common: firstly, they all live in the farthest-flung corners of the planet and secondly, they are all determined to watch the television broadcast of the 2002 World Cup final between Germany and Brazil. The protagonists in this epic adventure are a Mongolian nomad, a camel-riding Tuareg in the Sahara, and an Amazon Indian. All living hundreds of miles from the next town, and the next television, their task will be a daunting one.
DIRECTED BY GERARDO OLIVARES
