A 35-year-old man diagnosed with multiple sclerosis vows to complete an Ironman triathlon. It's surprising just how enduring the triumph over debilitating adversity sub-genre is: there's nothing new about Marcel Barrena's movie, but it's impossible not to find a lump in your throat while watching the final act. Ironically, the dramatic/emotional impact is blunted by inserts of the real Ramon (100 Metros is based on a true story) which expose the liberties Barrena takes with the truth. Winning performances from Dani Rovira, Alexandra Jimenez and (especially) Karra Elejalde, who has something of Eli Wallach about him
score /10
