A football summer that still gives goosebumps

With A Summer in Italy - World Cup 1990, a defining moment in German sports history returns to the screen. In the Schauburg Filmpalast in Gelsenkirchen, the documentary tells the story of the 1990 World Cup from the perspective of the players and connects sports, contemporary history, and collective memory for an engaging cinema evening.

When memory meets the tension of the game

The film looks back at the summer of 1990, when the German men's team, under team manager Franz Beckenbauer, became world champions in Italy. Instead of merely reflecting, the production focuses on intimate insights, private footage, and materials from the FIFA archives. This creates a picture of a team that not only won titles but also moved an entire country with team spirit, loyalty, and clear tactics.

More than football: A Germany in transformation

The documentary showcases the sporting stage in Italy and the historical background in Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall and just before reunification. This adds a second layer to the tournament: fan chants, cheers, and pride stand alongside the spirit of departure, hope, and the feeling of new unity. This very mix makes the film equally appealing to football fans and history enthusiasts.
