Young Swiss soccer player Mario has devoted his entire life to fulfilling his and his fathers dream of becoming an international professional soccer star. All this changes when his club recruits a rising star from Germany Leon Saldo. Now as pressure increases, he is forced to choose between love and happiness and his dreams of success and stardom, a choice that might hunt him until the end of his life.Written by

Very topical story of gay footballers (in the closet). Quite a gentle film rather than hard hitting. Beautiful cast, beautiful locations - are there no ordinary looking gay guys/footballers?!
One very simulated very shortsex scene (you really see nothing) doesn't warrant an 18 certificate which is really disappointing and cuts off an important potential younger audience from this film.
Bit of a cliched ending in my book - have seen this type of ending many times but as I said its not a hard hitting film.
Worth watching just because there has been nothing like this out there before around football
