100 metros (2016) - 108 min

Country: Spain
Director: Marcel Barrena
Cast: Dani Rovira, Karra Elejalde & Alexandra Jiménez.
Ramon Arroyo is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and his doctor told him that he won’t be able to walk 100 meters within a few weeks or in a year. He decides to fight against the disease by finishing an Iron-Man challenge.
It is based on the true story of a Spanish man, Ramon Arroyo who tries to complete an Iron-Man competition of swimming, bike racing and running a marathon. The movie actually reminds me of Hrithik Roshan, Due to Scoliosis-Curved Spinal Cord he was suggested not to do actions and dance, physical strain on the Spin might put him in a wheelchair for life. The odd-couple relationship between Rovira and Karra Elejalde pays off. I was not aware of the fact Karra Elejalde can handle comedic roles and still remember his Hector character from the movie Timecrimes (2007)Their old school Rocky type training scenes boost the story. Overall, 100 Meters is a genuinely inspirational movie of overcoming one's limits and fighting back.
Verdict: Good
