FC MURMELI

Category: Edition 2009

Synopsis

A football match between two very mismatched marmot teams. One team is the “Superkickers”: strong, brawny, fearless and equipped with all the tricks – both permissible and impermissible – known to football. They are pros, alpha marmots, with an ultra-tough Superkicker as the team captain. The other team is the “Underdogs”: clumsy, fearful and weak – and they don’t stand a chance. There is also the fact that the referee is biased and in over his head. Predictably, the Superkickers quickly take the lead. But when a gigantic eagle casts its shadow over the football pitch, all marmots are suddenly equal…

 

Sinossi

Una partita di calcio tra due squadre di marmotte: una squadra è la “Superkickers”, forte, muscolosa, senza paura e dotata di tutti i trucchi – sia ammissibili, sia inammissibili. L'altra squadra è la “Underdogs”: goffa, fifona e debole, non ha alcuna possibilità di vincere. Poi c’è anche il fatto che l'arbitro non è preciso ed è fuori di testa. Com'era prevedibile, la Superkickers prende subito l'iniziativa. Ma quando una gigantesca aquila proietta la sua ombra sul campo di calcio, tutte le marmotte appaiono improvvisamente uguali...
