100 Meters

Ramón, a man living with multiple sclerosis, dreams of conquering an Ironman triathlon despite the limits his illness imposes. The challenge breaks into three grueling parts: a 3.8 kilometer swim, a 180 kilometer bike ride, and a full marathon distance on foot. Friends and doctors question whether he can even swim a hundred meters, let alone finish the race. The film follows his stubborn drive to train and his supporters as they map out workouts, adapt equipment, and plan around medical setbacks. Humor and tenderness color his daily battles, turning a brutal test into a testament to stubborn hope. This is not just about competition, but about how a person keeps moving forward, supported by family and a loyal crew.

Directed by Marcel Barrena, the 2016 film adapts a true story into a human, humorous drama. Dani Rovira stars as Ramón, supported by Alexandra Jiménez as Inma and Karra Elejalde as Manolo, with a realistic family vibe.

100 Meters amplified awareness of multiple sclerosis by turning a life changing goal into a communal effort. Ramón’s fight is shown with honesty and humor, propelled by Inma and Manolo and their practical support. The film became a talking point about disability, family, and sport.

Critics praised the grounded tone and Rovira's performance, noting how the film balances humor with hard truths. The core themes center on persistence, the power of a supportive circle, and the struggle to redefine possible when illness threatens ordinary plans.

Box office figures for 100 Meters are not widely publicized, reflecting a modest international release. The film found audiences in Spain and festival circuits, appealing to fans of sports dramas rooted in real life.
