To mark his 70th birthday on October 24, 2023, this documentary film features German soccer coach Christoph Daum, who provides exclusive insights into his career and private life. According to Daum himself, his biography resembles a rollercoaster ride and has been overshadowed by a serious cancer diagnosis since 2022. For the film, Christoph Daum embarks on a journey to his former stations. He recounts exciting anecdotes from his career—and does not shy away from any of his mistakes. Prominent companions such as Rudi Völler, Matthias Sammer, and Reiner Calmund also have their say. During the filming, Christoph Daum and Uli Hoeneß met in person for the first time in years.
