An ageing soccer fanatic faces down the reality of his past in new Netflix drama Ultras.

The life of Sandro (Aniello Arena), the leader of the Apache ultras group, arrives at a crossroads after he is denied access to his second home: the stadium. The last weeks of the Italian championship are marked by his relationship with Angelo (Ciro Nacca), a young boy looking for a mentor, the wonderful and tough Terry (Antonia Truppo), and by the search for his place in the world.

The first film by Francesco Lettieri, Ultras explores friendship, faith, love and a football championship. Could it be Italy’s answer to The Football Factory? Find out when the film premieres on Netflix on 20th March.

Here’s a trailer:

 

Ultras is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
