Synopsis

Teachers, coaches, childhood friends, Barça teammates, journalists, writers and other notable figures from football history gather in a restaurant to examine Messi’s personality on and off the field and to revisit key moments of his life. From Álex de la Iglesia’s perspective, the film portrays Messi’s early years, beginning with his first steps while constantly handling a ball, continuing through his move from Rosario to Barcelona, his separation from family, and the influence of individuals such as Ronaldinho, Rijkaard, Rexach and Guardiola on his career.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
