Every afternoon, in a small square in Berlin, eight children get together to play a football tournament. But a wall, raised between East and West the night before the final, separates the two teams forever. The winner will never be decided… or will it? There is still a chance to play one last, memorable game.
A story of adventure and rebellion, set against the iron curtain that split Germany in two.
World history seen through the eyes of children, for whom there are no such things as barriers and divisions, only obstacles to overcome.
