Say hi to “The Final”, an animated short by writer/director Álvaro Parrilla and produced by Vamos, fresh off a fun run at festivals. Set in the 1950s, it’s all about football, family, and getting creative when screens aren’t a given. Manu sells newspapers to help at home and never misses a match with their grandparent. When their only way to follow the big final fails, Manu cooks up a bold plan—cue a city-wide chase.
