  • EXTENDED SYNOPSIS

Candela cometió el error de pensar que el ascensor social solo funciona en una dirección, la de subida. Y ahora, tras un traumático e inesperado divorcio, pierde su trabajo en un colegio de élite. Por eso Candela tiene que volver al barrio del que salió y pedir ayuda a su hermana y su padre, esos a los que lleva años mirando por encima del hombro. Es hora de recolocar las piezas en el tablero, empezar de cero y buscar una segunda oportunidad. Pero la única que encuentra es dar clases en su antiguo instituto a estudiantes con problemas de integración. Pasa de la crème de la crème, a la crème de la mediocridad. Lo que Candela no se espera es que con ellos aprenderá que lo importante no es quién fuiste ayer, sino quién eres hoy; que un grupo de perdedores por los que nadie da un duro pueden acabar siendo campeones de España; y que, en el ajedrez, como en la vida, no importa si eres rey o peón, porque al final de la partida, ambos acaban en la misma caja. (Paramount Pictures Spain)

Candela mistakenly believed the social ladder only went one way: up. Now, after a traumatic and unexpected divorce, she loses her job at an elite private school and finds herself back in the neighborhood she had left behind, forced to turn to her family for help. The time has come to set her pieces back on the board and start over, hoping to find that second chance. She gets offered the opportunity to return to her old high school and teach socially marginalized kids. Candela goes from being the cream of the crop to the cream of mediocrity. Yet when she sees that a bunch of losers could end up as national chess champs, she realizes that it is not important who you were, but who you are today. In chess, as in life, it makes no difference whether you´re a king or a pawn. When the game is over, everyone ends back up in the same box. (Film Factory Entertainment)
