Synopsis

What brings about a Damascene conversion? When he was younger, Thomas “Eichi” Eichstätt was an East German right-wing extremist thug. Today he volunteers as a football coach for stranded young people from around the world. He doesn’t have much left for himself; unfortunately the cash-strapped local municipality of Torgelow has no way of paying him for his valuable work.
