GAME OF DREAMS - THE TRUE STORY OF A WRONG TEAM
Columbo/Berlin, September 2004:
Sri Lanka versucht, das mysteriöse Verschwinden seiner Handball Natonalmannschaft in Bayern zu klären. Das Problem: Das Land hat gar keine Nationalmannschaft...
Die Geschichte klingt unglaublich, ist aber wahr:
Manoj und Stanley leben in den Slums von Sri Lanka. Während Manoj als Kellner in einer Bar arbeitet und von einem besseren Leben im Westen träumt, verkauft Stanley Obst in den Straßen von Colombo und kümmert sich um seinen Bruder, der zusehends auf die schiefe Bahn gerät. Sie haben schon mehrfach versucht, ein Visum für Deutschland zu bekommen, but were always rejected. Chaot Stanley is invited to the absurd idea as a handball team to be at a tournament in Germany. For Manoj and Stanley, it is clear that a great opportunity for a better life must be. Quickly they drum up their friends and go as Sri Lanka's national team to Germany ...
The audience favorite at the Mostra relies on a culture clash comedy really good mood. Once again creates Uberto Pasolini, after the fantastic "The Full Monty", a very special film that is often hilarious, on the other hand, has the requisite sensitivity for the serious Aburditäten of everyday life. Sympathetic he draws using his Sri Lankan screenwriters its many heroes.
is Incredibly, GAME OF DREAMS based on a true story, which was inexplicably shown in German cinemas unfortunately very scarce ...
