Plot
The mayor of the small town of Sonnethal wants to make his town famous by getting its football team into the district league. The school principal, Dr. Barbara Schwalbe, wants to stop the one-sided focus and build a youth club, so decides to found her own women's football team which quickly outshines the boys. Conflict then arises between the mayor and Dr. Schwalbe, and between team captains Brigitte and Berndt, though both become couples in the end.
