You could say this movie is about soccer and thus conclude that you have to be a (German) soccer fan to like it, but I think that's not quite true. In fact, the movie mainly tells the story of Matthias, a 10-year-old soccer-enthusiast whose relatively happy life suddenly changes when his father returns home after 11 years of war captivity in the Soviet Union. Father and son, who have never met before, struggle to build up a relationship and to learn to respect each other. The story is spun around the 1954 Soccer World Cup in Switzerland where Germany won the championship and Matthias' admired friend, Helmuth Rahn, played for the German national team. I can recommend the movie for the sensitive acting of Peter Lohmeyer and Louis Klamroth as father and son (they are father and son in real life, too) The story may be a little sentimental (and the last scene is definitely cheesy), but if you like that, I guess you'll enjoy the movie. Apart from that, the soccer scenes are great (ok, now that's for the soccer fans) and very accurately replicate the original events from 1954.
