The movie deals with the championship-winning German soccer team of 1954. Its story is linked with two others: The family of a young boy is split due to the events in World War II, and the father returns from Russia after eleven years. His problems in getting back to normal life are shown, with references to his children and wife. The second story is about a reporter and his wife reporting from the tournament.

If I were a football fan, I would definitely add another star, but I really am not. I understand the popularity of The Miracle in Bern in Germany because it is a kind and slightly cheesy film that soothes and blows on sore spots while pretending to open and address serious problems such as the war trauma of a returnee from Soviet captivity. But that film is too sweet and banal in its culmination. It is simply shallow, nicely groomed, and pleasant to watch, but that's really it. Overall impression: 45%.
