The 1985 European Football Cup final in Brussels has become a Belgian, perhaps even an international trauma. In a stampede, 39 people died in the Heysel stadium. The filmmaker Teodora Mihai has made a drama about it, which addresses human dilemmas. Hamburg-based Anna Katharina Bauer provided the soundtrack and Hamburg-based Leitwolf Filmproduktion is co-executive producer. The film is celebrating its world premiere at the Berlinale.
