Set against the politically tumultuous landscape of 1950's Germany, a young boy, Matthias, must deal with the return of his father, who has spent Matthias' entire life in a POW camp in Russia. However, Matthias is more concerned with Germany's performance in the 1954 World Cup Final.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
One of the first German-language films I have ever seen, and still one of my all-time favorites. I'm not even a sports fan, but I really enjoyed this film. A feel-good movie that deals with the impact of the reign of the Nazis in Germany, and how sports can bring a shattered and broken country together.
