Hello,

I saw “The Optimists” yesterday in a small cinema in Germany. Playing in a getting-older-together volleyball team (45-65), I was fascinated and would like to buy this film on DVD. Can You please tell me, where I can get it?

Sincerely
Günter Maier

I just saw the trailer on Facebook and would love to know how to view or purchase it in the USA! It looks wonderful.

Please tell me where we may purchase “Optimisterna” with English subtitles. Thank you.

I’ve looked everywhere I could think of online but I couldn’t find your film – I would very much like to see it 🙂 Will you distribute your movie in the US and/or Canada? Cheers!

you can buy it from vimeo now 🙂 hence issue nr2 – how to solve the problem with subtitles (need a translation to Polish for my parents)
