Why should a talented young man choose between his lifetime
dream and the first love of his life? Mario has been working
and dreaming toward a career as a professional soccer player.
He was well on his way when Leon walked into his life. Leon
is beautiful and a talented player, in his own right. And he
is willing to take the risk of bringing Mario out of the closet
and into his arms. After their first night together, Mario dives
deeper into the closet, while Leon claws his way out. Soon,
the politics of professional sports creeps its way into Mario’s
life and, while he is finally getting his lifelong dream, his
heart is breaking at the most important moment in his life.
Marcel Gisler’s direction allows the story to build organically
to a moving interplay between what the heart wants and what
the souls needs. Mario must find his way to keeping both in
play. Marcel Gisler, 2018, Switzerland
