The Keeper – The legend of a goalkeeper: plot (true story), cast and streaming of the film
Tonight, Wednesday 7 December 2022, at 21.25 on Rai 1 The Keeper – The legend of a goalkeeper, an Anglo-German biopic co-written and directed by Marcus H. Rosenmüller, is broadcast. The film tells the story of German footballer Bert Trautmann, played by David Kross. But let’s see all the information together in detail.
Plot (true story)
At the end of World War II, some Nazi soldiers are captured by British forces and interned in a prison camp in England. Among these is Bert Trautmann, a Luftwaffe paratrooper who stands out for his talent in playing football as a goalkeeper; the prisoner is noticed by Jack Friar, coach of the local team, who decides to sign him in order to avoid relegation. As a Nazi soldier, Bert is frowned upon by his new teammates and by the locals, especially by Margaret, Jack’s daughter, but thanks to his sporting talent and his desire to redeem himself and put his past aside, he manages to gain everyone’s trust. Jack’s team avoids demotion, and Margaret dumps her boyfriend Bill to marry Bert. The German is then noticed by Jock Thompson, manager of Manchester City, who decides to sign him. The beginnings at City are not the best: Bert is hated by fans and the national press, especially after admitting at the press conference that he has received the Iron Cross. Thanks to his talent and his deep sense of duty and redemption, Bert becomes a fundamental player of the Citizens, being decisive in particular in the victorious final of the FA Cup against Birmingham City, where he ends the match despite a serious blow to the neck received in a fight with opponent Peter Murphy.
