Sebastián (Cassen) is a touristic boat ticket man who in his rest time often visits brothels . He's a great fan of Spanish football , a real supporter who lives in Raval slums in the metropolis Barcelona . Then Sebastián decides to join a Barça's supporters club , while usually shouting : ¨Bisca El Barca ¡¨ . There he will meet the daughter of his friend Amadeo , (Carlos Ibarzábal), a charming young woman called (Mónica Randall) who will stop at nothing to marry him . After various years in which the Club had a bad career , the FC Barcelona with Johan Cruyff as its main leader is making a spectacular campaign , getting various successes and Sebastián results to be a fundamental enthusiast.
Director Francisco Betriu makes the film with a certain fluency and skillness from a technical point of view and develops the limited scenarios : Raval streets , brothels and a stadium just show up on the big screen. He delivers a so-so and outlandish comedy , almost theatrical , though with no originality , in which the main and support cast are frankly decent . Simple entertainment , an unpretentious film with excessive talking and taking a limited concept with certain social critic . Concerning a peculiar couple whose girlfriend wishes at whatever means to marry and eventually will celebrate their wedding on the same day that Barça and Madrid compete for the League . The camera movements are elegant and blending seamlessly into the action . The film doesn't offer more incentives and it tires and bores , at times . In any case, and despite the disadvantages exposed, it serves to spend the time enough , turning out to be a film in which in some moments the virtues manage to prevail over the defects . This is a comical and sometimes embarrassing account of an extremely soccer fan moving in fits and starts most of which would be desirable and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly passable . The characters are quite odd , grotesque and geek and the film races with no much sense . A hilarious movie , fast , agile in the dialogues but with little happenings , and there are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit . And shot on location in Raval slums , Nou camp stadium, Barcelona and Lleida, Catalonia, Spain . The film is routine and boring , however, we have to save the nice actor Cassen , post- ¨Placido¨, who gives a real tour-de-force , and adding the extremely attractive Monica Randall as the young woman who finally agrees to marry him . Being accompanied by brief acting from secondaries as Alfredo Luchetti , Ovidi Montllor , Amparo Moreno , José María Cañete.
