One Captain

'One Captain' is a stylish dramatization of footballing legend Francesco Totti, starring Pietro Castellitto. Totti grew up a fanatical fan of AS Roma, and went on to fulfil his dream to lead them and become a hometown champion – ‘A Roman to the Core, and the Core of Roma’. This series captures the passion, flair, loyalty and determination that made him one of the most admired and charismatic figures in the history of world football. Mixing archive footage with contemporary drama, we witness the intense moments on and off the pitch, building up to Totti’s emotional retirement from a career that had defined his every waking hour since breaking into the team as a raw teenager. When he suffers a potentially career-threatening injury at the age of 39 – long after most footballers have given up – Totti and his loved ones face life-changing challenges as he fights beyond all hope and reason to stay in the game.
