Hothead
A sports-driven comedy-drama about a downtrodden footballer who achieves sudden fame and uses it to settle old scores, blending humor with darker impulses of revenge.
François, a miserable football player, becomes a town hero after bringing victory in an extremely important game. He uses his fame for revenge on the team star for the previous mockeries.
