Summary
Summer 1990 in Italy: the German national football team, led by coach Franz Beckenbauer, wins the World Cup for the third time. The documentary traces the tournament's progression - from the group stage through the knockout rounds to the final against Argentina - following players such as Lothar Matthäus, Andreas Brehme, Jürgen Klinsmann, Rudi Völler, and Klaus Augenthaler. At the same time, the film situates the World Cup in its broader historical context. Just months after the fall of the Berlin Wall and on the eve of German reunification, people in both East and West Germany watched the tournament together. Told from the perspective of those involved, the story is supported by interviews and archival material, including private footage from goalkeeping coach Sepp Maier and images from the FIFA archives.
