Sister Marina, a very unorthodox nun, is sent during the summer of 1994 to El Parral, a boarding school for boys threatened to be closed soon. Even though the kids welcome Marina with all kinds of pranks, they will, little by little, become something very close to the family they never had.

User review:

Very fun and charming Spanish movie with a lot of amusement and entertainment dealing with a boarding school for boys threatened to be closed soon , where a peculiar nun is sent during the sunny summer . Carmen Machi and Paula Usero co-star in this family comedy inspired by the true story of former Real Madrid soccer player Valdo. This is set in the summer of 1994, at which time Sister Marina, a very unique nun , is sent to El Parral, an orphanage that is about to close. This place is full of rebellious, foul-mouthed and talkative orphans who spend their summers with nothing to do at the orphanage , until sister Mariana decides to set up a soccer team. Even though the kids welcome Marina with all kinds of pranks and jokes , they will -step by step- , become something very close to the family they never had .

This attractive , warming story contains soccer sports , emotion, excitement galore, entertainment and lots of fun. Following the hard preparatives of a motley team formed by naive footballers preparing a competing soccer match and the final tournament. It is family film, even though preadolescents appearing are usually smoking , that out of every three words they say , swear words , profanities and they can’t stop thinking about making love . It would be better to rate it as a movie for people over 16 years of age, or PG (Parents Guide). Stars Carmen Machi who gives a stunning acting , as usual , here a good-natured nun who teaches, drives the bus and becomes the football trainer. Machi is one of the best Spanish actresses , as Cinema as Television, with penchant for comedy genre, such as: “8 apellidos vascos, 8 apellidos catalanes , Que se mueran los feos, Descongelate , Un rey en la Habana, Perdieron el Norte , Mi Gran Noche , Vilaviciosa de al lado, La Tribu , Thi Mai Rumbo a Vietnam , Perdiendo el Este , Kamikaze , Lo nunca visto” , among others . The charming roles and vibrant script use bewildering incidents to give us an intimate flick and that keeps you entertained for the almost 110 minutes of duration . This is an inspiring, refreshing and simple Good feel Movie with a great and first-class supporting cast such as Nuria Gonzalez (Los Serrano), Pablo Chiapella (La que se avecina), Manolo Solo (Tarde para la ira). And of course , special mention for the veteran and well-known actress Carmen Machi , as the stiff, resourceful , sympathetic and very unorthodox nun, as she gives a real recital .
