action
The film tells the story of Bert Trautmann , who was imprisoned in a British camp after being captured at the end of the Second World War . After he had some success as a goalkeeper and fell in love with his sponsor's daughter Margaret, he decided to stay in England. He marries Margaret.
As a German goalkeeper, he plays in the English soccer league and is initially very controversial - as a German, four years after the end of the war, he is still mainly perceived as an enemy. Trautmann replies that as a soldier he had no choice.
Ultimately, he becomes a legend and hero at Manchester City when he endures a game with a broken neck. His young son is killed by a car. This puts a strain on his marriage, also because Trautmann sees death as a punishment for a war crime against a boy that he could not prevent. He continues to fight as a goalkeeper.

reception
Reviews
"Marcus H. Rosenmüller [...] has developed the already exciting life story of the exceptional athlete into a moving melodrama, which - exciting and entertaining and with a brilliant David Kross in the leading role - is clearly aimed at a very large audience."
“Rosenmüller tells of hostility and reconciliation. His guilt-and-atonement drama may have been a bit too forgiving in some moments, but “Trautmann” is a film that goes to the heart. And on top of that, it is grippingly staged. A film that is not afraid of big emotions, also convince the football scenes. "
“Heroes' portraits and love drama stick together to form a Schmonzette, which hardly does justice to the historical figure. The attraction of the material would have been in her broken biography, in the metamorphosis from racist to fighter for tolerance and German-British understanding. But Rosenmüller is giving away the chance of a parable about man's ability to change in favor of a pleasing feel-good movie. "
