Thanks to Sepp Herberger's tactical masterpieces and an outstanding form of the team around captain Fritz Walter , the German team reached the final. There they have to compete with the Hungarians who have been unbeaten for four years. The legendary final game is the subject of the animation film , which looks at this historical event from a very special point of view.
