Synopsis

Kaiserslautern 1994: Christian grows up in poverty, with a violent, drinking, hard-working father. When Christian's mother dies, his aunt Juli takes him and his siblings to live with her, against his father's wishes. Juli gets Christian to go to high school, but even there he has to fight prejudices. Football - especially 1. FC Kaiserslautern - and the music of Freddy Mercury are his passion. Christian gets caught between Juli, who only wants the best for him, and his father, who he can't break away from. The film tells what it means to grow up in poverty and what it feels like to be excluded just because you come from precarious circumstances. The film tells the story of people in social difficulties and what is wrong in society, unsparingly, but also with a lot of warmth and hope. An intense and hard, but at the same time warm-hearted and hopeful, milieu study.
