Boubacar Tangara, a refugee from Mali, arrives in Germany without knowing the language and uses football to unite a refugee centre despite ethnic tensions. By prioritizing communication, they become a family, achieve an 80%-win rate, and advance in the league. Unfortunately, Boubacar loses an important player and also a friend due to deportation, but finds the strength to continue playing together with the remaining team and uniting people.
