ULTRAS is the story of their friendship, of a faith and a love marked by the last few weeks of a football championship, and the inevitable meeting of both with their own destiny.Something like American History X but Italian style with soccer hooligans (and please Netflix, I would rather see the original language with subtitles instead of the poorly dubbed English version)....

- DirectorCarles TorrasStarsMario CasasDéborah FrançoisGuillermo PfeningAngel works in an ambulance service.
