Frankreich, wir kommen !

1998, the World Football Cup. Austria has three matches to play in order to qualify. Among the fans, there’s retired Toni, Gerard a bank executive with his mother Margit, Johann the journalist, Michael the engineer and junior-team coach and, of course, Mrs. Lauring and her family flock… Be it in the stands or in front of the TV, they are electrified, tortured, brimming with hope, making comments, just like the entire country. Or, to be truthful, like the whole global planetary village, given that at the same moment in Cameroon, in Chile, Italy… A drama in three acts!
