In celebration of the FIFA World Cup in Germany, the Goethe-Institut, with the help of the German Foreign Office, has put together an international film package consisting of eight feature films and five documentaries, which use the universal language of football to unite people from all walks of life.
In these films, the themes based on the legendary ball game include team spirit, fan culture, family photographs, religion and cultural differences. Germany's famous trainer Sepp Herberger, Honduran street children, Turkish girls in Berlin and Tibetan monks: they all let us share in their fascination and find a common ground that transcends barriers.
