German Currents Kino Presents: Das Wunder Von Bern (The Miracle of Bern) (Sunday, June 24, 10:30AM)

June 24, 2018

Presented by:

Das Wunder Von Bern (The Miracle of Bern) follows a young boy from a working class family in post-war Germany, who struggles with his estranged father returning from war captivity, while a friend of his plays for the German National Soccer Team at the 1954 FIFA World Cup in Switzerland.

Synopsis

In 1954, Richard (Peter Lohmeyer) returns to his German hometown after seven years as a prisoner of war. The years have taken their toll, and he fails to relate to his family — particularly his soccer-loving son, Matthias (Louis Klamroth). Meanwhile, a journalist (Lukas Gregorowicz) and his wife head to Bern, Switzerland, to write about the World Cup. The stories of these strangers converge when they arrive in Bern, where they witness an uplifting German performance in a game against Hungary.
