Mirco von Juterczenka's novel "Wir Wochenendrebellen" is the story of a father and his ten-year-old son, who is Asperger's autistic. The boy has set his mind on finally finding his favourite football club. But his selection criteria are very specific and besides, he wants to experience all the clubs (no matter in which league they play) live in the stadium.
The film is a warm father and son comedy built around a road trip, drawing its humour from the boy's quirks and the friction between father and son without mocking him. The pace is light and easy to watch, with quieter, moving stretches in between. Football is less about the sport than a way for the two to understand each other.
Good for you if you like heartfelt family comedies that make you laugh and feel for the characters.
