Arenas

Directed by Camille Perton
2024
100 mins

At just 18 years old, Brahim, a promising young footballer, is preparing to realize his dream: signing his first professional contract in Lyon, his club, his city. But when a mysterious and powerful agent Francis (Édgar Ramírez) disrupts the negotiations, Brahim embarks on a race against time on the transfer market, where anything goes.

From first-time feature filmmaker Camille Perton, Arenas is an exhilarating exploration into the shady side of the football business. Anchored by a masterful performance from Édgar Ramírez, this is not your typical sports drama. A football thriller with a moral quandary twist at its center, we find ourselves fully immersed in the push and pull between loyalty and money, and the tough choices we make to claim our ultimate destiny.
