Upper School Intersession 2025

In this session we’ll watch the Argentinian movie "El fútbol o yo"

Outrageous satire El Fútbol o Yo (My Love or My Passion) is a story about Pedro, a man whose passionate soccer fanaticism has reached extreme and alarming heights. His outrageous antics – which include watching matches at all hours of the day – begin to jeopardize his job and family, forcing his wife, Veronica, to give him an ultimatum: tone it down, or lose your family for good!

Set in Buenos Aires, this movie is filled with wild moments of irrational fervor. If you are an Argentinian, you probably know a hard core “hincha” whose fandom has bordered on the insanely inappropriate! (When we meet at Intersessions ask me why I know this !)

This movie depicts, in a fun yet ridiculous way what soccer means for Argentina and how it is at the heart and center of Argentina’s culture.

Prerequisites: 
- All Spanish Speakers are welcome!
- Best suited for students who have taken Spanish 401. The movie will be played in Spanish with Subtitles in English.
