For six young men the fan club of local soccer club Eintracht Braunschweig, is the center of their life and their friendship. 66/67, the name of their club, recalls the year when Eintracht Braunschweig won the German championship. The six not only carry a 66/67 branding as a symbol of unconditionless loyalty, they also celebrate the violence of the “third half” after the final whistle. The group faces starts to dissolve when some can no longer deny that each of them has his invidual problems that lie outside the stadium. They come to realize that it is not their club but themselves who are about to confront their biggest challenge.
