The Miracle of Bern**
Ger 2003. Little Shark/Senator Film/Seven Pictures. 118m.

A young boy helps his father sort his life out again after returning from Russia, as well as his idol Helmut Rahn to score the winning goal in the 1954 World Cup Final against Hungary.
Sentimental and colourful German feelgood sports drama, the brightness and 1950s optimism of Switzerland well contrasted with the grey austerity of post-war Germany, with some of the famous figures and events from the tournament lovingly recaptured, and some witty comedy sidelines between a honeymooning journalist and his wife.
