What The Keeper Is About

A German soldier brought to England as a prisoner of war is noticed keeping goal in a camp match and years later takes over between the posts at a major club, where the reaction of the crowd is exactly what you would expect. The film is far more interested in forgiveness than in football, and does not make it easy: his past was not a misunderstanding, he was genuinely there. It follows a real life, and the injury in the final match is real too. It slides into melodrama in places while the central question stays serious.
