Underdogs

Underdogs (2013) pits a shy foosball virtuoso, Amadeo, against Grosso, the world’s preeminent soccer star, who seeks to demolish his village for a sports complex. When Grosso abducts Amadeo’s free-spirited lover, Laura, the foosball table’s figurines materialize to aid him. This animated fantasy skewers the clash between small-town values and corporate ambition, blending whimsy and social commentary with a charmingly offbeat narrative.
