Germany in the 1920s. In a small village, two brothers launch the sports shoe to international fame. But Adi and Rudi Dassler, one an introverted inventor, craftsman and athlete, the other a visionary sales wonder and impulsive womanizer, begin developing increasingly different visions. With the rise of the Nazi regime, their long-standing differences grow to a profound mistrust, which ultimately leads to the creation of two future multinational corporations: ADIDAS and PUMA. A legendary rivalry ensues that, in its tenacity, is carried on to the next generation and shapes Adi and Rudi's life until the end. (HBO Europe)
