Best movie
One of the best movie made.. realistic and heart warming. It shows how disable we are judging people by looks and behaviors.. Pretty sure whoever watches this movie won't get disappointed..
What a warm, entertaining and significant movie!!!
A trainer has to lead a basketball team composed of special people each of who face various mental or physical disabilities.
Everyone should certainly see this movie. The movie makes question; what/who is normal?
Who is disabeled and what is real disability?
Which disabilities exist in the lives of people assumed to be "normal"?
Can normality be a form or type of disability?
All these questions reach very meaningfull answers in the movie; an entertaining story which is full of smile.

- TriviaLooking for more realism, director Javier Fesser wanted non-professional actors, but real-life disabled people for the basketball team. All of them make their debut with this movie.
- GoofsThe employee of the shop looks very much after his motor home, and he is very reluctant to lend it. As an example of how much he takes care of the van, he mentions that he uses 98 octane petrol (gas). Motor homes in Spain (except for a few very old ones) run on diesel.
- Crazy creditsThere is one more scene just before the closing credits are complete.
- Alternate versionsRemade several times in different countries and languages: "Champions" (2021, Saudi Arabia); "Weil wir Champions sind" (2022, German TV Movie); "Champions" (2023, USA); "Sitaare Zameen Par" (announced 2023, in post-production January 2025, indian).
