Best friends Dylan and Youssef dream of becoming professional football players. One day, an unexpected event changes everything for Dylan, and he has to come to terms with his new life. He does not want to let go of his dream and is still determined to win the Touzani Cup together with Youssef. Thanks to the help of skater girl Maya – whom he has a crush on – he learns to play football in a completely new way. Bigman (Dutch: Strijder) is a film about true friendship, not giving up, and striving to win.
Why we like it: Football has the power to change lives. This is not just a film about how inclusive the world’s most popular sport can be but it’s also an anthem to friendship, the dedication to goals, and the refusal to give in to adversity.
