Directed by Sönke Wortmann - German with English Subtitles
Cast: Louis Klamroth, Peter Lohmeyer, Johanna Gastdorf, Mirko Lang, Birthe Wolter u.a.
Summer, 1954. The Soviet Union is sending its prisoners of war home. Among them is the father of a
quiet, football-loving 11-year-old, Matthias, who lives with his mother, sister and brother in a WestGerman mining town. The boy has long found a surrogate father in the local football player Helmut
Rahn, who has "adopted" Matthias as his mascot. The return of the boy's father Richard casts a
shadow over the once-happy family: broken by his years in captivity, Richard has trouble adapting to
life in post-war Germany and alienates his family through his severity. For Richard, football is pointless,
and so is the World Cup that's about to be held in Bern, Switzerland. Matthias, however, longs to be
there with his idol, who's been chosen to play on the German team. Through his passion for the game
and his fighting spirit, Matthias rekindles a love of life in his dad's heart. And so, as the final match of
the World Cup begins, a little miracle of love and generosity leaps across borders to help another
miracle occur - the victory of Helmut Rahn and the German team, the miracle of Bern.
