The Devil's Kickers (2010)

At the heart of the vibrant and spirited tale "The Devil's Kickers" lies the story of Moritz, a young boy bound by his unwavering love for football. The comfortable familiarity of his life, intertwined with his father's training at his beloved club, SV Hulstorf, is abruptly disrupted when his parents' separation catapults him into an unfamiliar world. Accompanied by his quirky, football-illiterate mother, Moritz is thrust into the domain of his stern Grandpa Rudi, in a city that simultaneously houses the haughty Mark, a star footballer from the affluent local club, VfB Eichstädt. The tension between Moritz and the proud Mark mounts from their very first encounter. However, Moritz discovers companionship in an unlikely group of passionate street kickers - the dynamic brothers Mehmet and Enes, the oddball Alex, the earnest Niko, and the intriguing Catrina, who happens to be Mark's sister and a budding ballerina. In the face of adversity, Moritz and his newfound friends rally together under the banner of the old club, "Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb", where they uncover a surprising connection to the gruff Grandpa Rudi. As they prepare for their first major tournament, their camaraderie and determination are tested when Moritz's father resurfaces, attempting to pull Moritz back to Hulstorf. It's in this critical moment that Moritz realizes the true meaning of the game - it's more than just football, it's about friendship and loyalty. "The Devil's Kickers" is a heartwarming exploration of childhood, dreams, and the spirit of teamwork, as Moritz and his ragtag team of underdogs strive to conquer the championship and prove their worth against their formidable rivals. Along the way, they encounter trials, triumphs, and the transformative power of a shared love for the beautiful game.
