The talented, twenty-year-old football pro, Mario, falls in love with Leon, a fellow player of the same age. After some initial hesitance on Mario’s part, a passionate relationship develops between the two which at the end fails due to forced self-denial and misrepresentation in the football team.

Standing outside the prison gate, Goalie is waiting in vain for his best friend Ueli whom he did not betray and then ended up doing a year in jail for. „Small change, just a temporary setback“ he says. From now on everything will be better.

He sets off to Schummertal, his home town, a small town where everyone knows everyone. He’s coming back to start over, this time without drugs. Goalie is clean.
