POLYGON X

Iberoamerican Short Film Contest 54 ED. 2026
Spain, France 2025 15' Ficción

Some neighborhood soccer fields. Five-on-five. Frog and his team feel humiliated by the Brazilians from the neighboring block, who have been beating them for a long time. But today they won’t lose — especially not in front of Alba, Frog’s ex — and they’ll do whatever it takes to avoid it. This is the perfect opportunity for the kids from Polígono X to do something they’ve been waiting for a long time: kick the Brazilians out of their neighborhood.
