Drama/Romance, United Kingdom, 120 minutes
English
The true story of Bert Trautmann, a German soldier, and prisoner of war who, amid much protest and prejudice, secures the position of the goalkeeper at Manchester City and becomes a soccer icon. His signing causes outrage to thousands of fans, many of them Jewish. What proved decisive was a remarkable open letter to the press from Manchester’s communal rabbi, Alexander Altmann, who fled from the Nazis, asking for Trautmann to be given a chance. Trautmann’s love for Margaret, an Englishwoman, sustains him, but fate will soon twist for them when their love and loyalty to each other is put to the ultimate test.
Contains some sexual scenes.
Winner of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival Audience Award.
