Sinopsis

Ten years after becoming a bodybuilding world champion, Antonio Osta leads a life of austerity with his son, Juanjo, in the rural town where he grew up. Suffering from chronic kidney disease, he is stuck in limbo, halfway between his glorious past and the impossibility of being who he once was. What´s left after glory? Through a story focused on the bond between a father and a son, The Champion of the World puts forward a human portrayal of masculinity and the scars left by success.
