    A Hero's Welcome

    2008     Dramatic thriller    

    Twenty-five-year-old David (Hanno Koffler) returns to his home village in the Black Forest from a Bundeswehr (German Army) mission in Afghanistan. His girlfriend Kirsten (Petra Schmidt-Schaller) and his mother are overjoyed to see him safe and well and his shy eight-year-old brother is full of admiration for him. But David is close-mouthed, brusque, and not the same man he was before the mission. He is plagued by an inner turmoil; he can't get the war he has left behind out of his head and nobody wants to hear about it. Only his young brother who begs David to become his soccer coach, gets a glimpse of the horror when the sports training quickly turns violent.
