Ten-year-old Jason is autistic. His routines are non-negotiable. His parents Mirco and Fatime work hard, but the school wants to transfer Jason to a special needs school. To avoid this, Mirco promises to help his son find a favourite soccer club. In return, Jason promises to behave at school. But Mirco didn’t expect Jason to have to see all the clubs play live. And on top of that, the club must not have a silly mascot, must be environmentally sustainable, must have handicapped-accessible toilets, must not have Nazis among its fans, the players must not wear shoes that are too colourful, and must not form any swearing-in circles before the game! Father and son travel to Germany's soccer stadiums and in the process, Mirco finally really learns to understand his special son and how to deal with his disability.
