Ecki is goalkeeper for the soccer-team in his small hometown in Germany (near Dortmund). After losing an important game, his mates accidentally find out that he is gay. They throw him out of the team. Out of anger and hurt he dares them to play against a gay team. Ecki has only four weeks to build this team and train them.

The movie plays with clichés in a hilarious and yet pleasant way. Good looking guys, leather and chains, love, revenge, and soccer. Witty dialogues and good action. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. It is well filmed and the actors are very good. Daniel, a young man, makes a huge effort to save his mother from any agitation because of her weak heart. He even resurrects the old German Democratic Republic for her. This is very funny but sad at the same time.

The director Charlotte Link has done it again, After the immensely beautiful 'Jenseits der Stille', she realized the book of Stefanie Zweig into a movie. It is about Zweig's childhood in Kenia, where to she and her jewish family fled in 1938. The movie is beautiful filmed and very sensitive about the characters. The actors have done a great job too. I am looking forward to her next movie!
