The award-winning filmmaker Aljoscha Pause accompanies the world champion from Rio for more than 7 months in his attempt to regain his old level of performance and make the leap into the German World Cup squad once again. The film not only shows Götzes everyday life in sports and his fight for the World Cup ticket, but also gives profound insights into his private life.
Celebrated as a talent of the century at the age of 18, his goal in the 2014 World Cup final at just 22 made him a German football legend.
