Overview

Drinking, fighting, sex and soccer matches - on Saturday, the people in the Nordkurve have nothing but pleasure on their minds. It's all about lust at any price, fighting with all means, intrigue, deceit and blackmail. After all, the all-important game takes place in the afternoon and 40,000 people want to be there. Everyone is preparing for it in their own way, everyone wants to make the deal of a lifetime. Substitute player Niebitsch is eagerly awaiting his appearance. Player agent Roland F. Beyer is trying to pull off the really big deal. The club is on the brink of financial ruin. President Vischering only thinks about the invitation to appear on "Aktuelle Sportstudio". And Gottschalk begins to systematically get drunk. In the end it is clear: Herberger's wisdom "The game lasts 90 minutes" is wrong. The game lasts all day, every Saturday...
