Naughty twins Zip & Zap are punished and sent to summer school run by the strict headmaster Falconetti, who rules with a heavy hand and an eyepatch, forbidding all forms of recreation and entertainment.

Guided by intelligence, bravery and unbreakable faith in friendship, they uncover a mysterious secret hidden deep within the school and have the most exciting adventure of their lives. Adapted from a beloved Spanish comic series from the 1940s by director Óskar Santos , Zip & Zap explores themes of friendship, courage, and acceptance and is a wonderful addition to the children’s adventure-film genre. Its great performances, engaging big budget special effects, and humorous, fast-paced story are sure both to entertain and to surprise you. Zip & Zap was the highest grossing film in Spain in 2013 and fans of Harry Potter or 80s classics like The Goonies are sure to adore this film!
