One of the films we loved most at the Festival is finally coming to Greek cinemas!

 

The film that opened last year’s Athens International Children’s Film Festival portrays with tenderness and humour the everyday life of a family with a child on the autism spectrum, and a father’s journey to truly understand his son’s world.

Ten-year-old Jason promises his dad that he will try to adjust to the school environment if he helps him find out which football team is his favourite. But there’s just one catch: to decide, he first has to watch all 56 teams in the first, second, third and fourth German leagues. Live!

What begins as a journey from stadium to stadium and from weekend to weekend gradually turns into something much bigger — a path toward understanding, acceptance and connection. And countless goals.

Tender, funny and deeply human, the film speaks about diversity in a bright and liberating way — to the rebels next door, young and old.

A film for the whole family!
