Thomas ‘Eichi’ Eichstädt coaches the FC Pio in Torgelow, a small town in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The team is made up of young refugees grappling with their pasts and searching for acceptance. For many, Eichi is a father figure, but he carries the weight of his dark past as a former right-extremist. This gripping film is about making a fresh start as well as confronting one’s own history.
