    • Trivia
      Filmed with the cooperation of actual Swiss professional team Young Boys Bern. Filming locations include their Stade de Suisse stadium and training ground. The filmmakers stated that they felt extremely welcome and that there was no censorship from the team on how the issue of a possibly-gay soccer player played out. One board member stated that the film depicted a realistic reaction from the team.

    7/10
    Good film - topical subject. An 18 rating is unjustified!
    Very topical story of gay footballers (in the closet). Quite a gentle film rather than hard hitting. Beautiful cast, beautiful locations - are there no ordinary looking gay guys/footballers?!

    One very simulated very shortsex scene (you really see nothing) doesn't warrant an 18 certificate which is really disappointing and cuts off an important potential younger audience from this film.

    Bit of a cliched ending in my book - have seen this type of ending many times but as I said its not a hard hitting film.

    Worth watching just because there has been nothing like this out there before around football
