La Cancha is a film about basketball—but also about the rhythm of shot, counter-shot, and the art of backdoor cuts, both on the court and in cinema. It captures a space shaped by people, time, and its own layered images. Within this space, a paradoxical community emerges: a rather negative community, unavowable yet united by shared rituals, games, and unspoken bonds. Filmed over four years, La Cancha assembles a mosaic of characters, a collage of moments, and the relentless pulse of countless intense games.
