BIGMAN

Best friends Dylan and Youssef dream of becoming professional football players. When Dylan ends up in a wheelchair after a terrible accident, he has to come to terms with his new life. His dad – and former coach – wants him to accept his handicap and ban football out of his life, but Dylan is determined to play football again. Bigman is a film about true friendship and winning a final in the dying seconds of the game.
