The Cikusa Brothers
18-year-old twins Petar and Djordje Cikuša i Jelicic have burst onto the handball scene in recent seasons, playing in the Machineseeker EHF Champions League and starring in Younger Age Category competitions.
But is it any wonder, given that they have been playing handball since they were old enough to hold a ball?
“The Cikuša Brothers – Golden Future” turns the lens on the brothers for the first time, talking exclusively to the twins and their teammates about their breakthrough to the big stage of handball.
For Petar, the 2023/24 season was hugely impressive for one so young: he won the EHF Champions League with Barça, scoring 24 goals across the campaign; was called up to Spain's bronze-medal winning team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games; and was named MVP of M20 EHF EURO 2024 in Slovenia in July, which Spain won.
Djordje suffered an injury two matches into the M20 EHF EURO, but two years ago, it was his moment in the spotlight, as he was named in the All-star Team at M18 EHF EURO 2022, where Spain won gold. The brothers were also in the Spanish squad that took gold in the Men's IHF Youth World Championship 2023.
Introduced to the sport by their father who was passionate about handball, the two played together as youngsters and in the Barça youth system with an understanding that only twins can share.
But their confidence, drive, dedication and style makes them both standout players in their own right. The documentary shines a light on their individual personalities and assesses how far they might go in the sport.
