Every nation needs a legend.
Das Wunder von Bern er en rørende og visuelt imponerende film, der sætter fokus på efterkrigstidens Tyskland og den utrolige sejr ved verdensmesterskabet i 1954 – et øjeblik kendt som "Miraklet i Bern". Filmen fortælles gennem øjnene af den unge dreng Matthias, som vokser op midt i de barske realiteter efter Anden Verdenskrig. For Matthias og hans familie bliver fodboldkampen et symbol på fornyet håb og national stolthed, der langsomt begynder at hele et splittet samfund.
Matthias oplever, hvordan denne sejr ikke blot ændrer hans egen tilværelse, men også bringer folk sammen og genopretter troen på, at mirakler kan ske, selv under de mest håbløse omstændigheder. Mens hans forældre kæmper med fortidens traumer og de daglige udfordringer ved genopbygningen af deres liv, bliver fodboldkampen et lys i mørket, der inspirerer til forsoning og mod. Med en kombination af intens drama, varme øjeblikke og historiske referencer, formår Das Wunder von Bern at levere en tidløs fortælling om, hvordan håb og en samlet nation kan opstå midt i ruinerne af fortiden.
English synopsis:
"There are two events in German postwar history that people still remember exactly where they were on this day: the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and Germany's surprising victory at the football World Cup in 1954, better known as the Miracle of Bern. This victory has become a myth, its makers have become legends." - Director and ex-professional football player Sönke Wortmann.
Set in the summer of 1954, Das Wunder von Bern is the story of 11-year-old Matthias who lives in a German mining town with his mother, sister and brother. He is adopted as the bag carrier and lucky mascot for the local football team by top player Helmut Rahn. Meanwhile, after years in captivity, Matthias' father Richard returns from a Soviet PoW camp, only to cast a dark shadow over his once-happy family.
For Richard, football is pointless, and so is the World Cup that's about to be held in Bern, Switzerland. Matthias, however, longs to be there with his idol, who has been chosen to play on the German team. Through his passion for the game and his fighting spirit, Matthias rekindles a love of life in his dad's heart - and also 'helps' win the World Cup.
Winner of the Best Picture and Best Actor honours at the German Film Awards 2004, this film is an intensely emotional and touching family drama shot against the exhilarating, authentic background of West Germany's miraculous World Cup victory in 1954.
