A number of players including Florian Wirtz and Granit Xhaka, head coach Xabi Alonso, the team behind the team as well as the managing directors Fernando Carro and Simon Rolfes share their insights and convey emotional impressions from the historic 2023/24 campaign. The documentary impressively demonstrates the thrills of late goals in important games and shows how the Werkself, with remarkably positive energy, again and again go beyond their limits and end a Bundesliga campaign as the first club ever undefeated over the season.
Fernando Carro, Bayer 04 CEO:"I'm very proud of what we've achieved at this club recently. And I'm already excited about how many of the special moments from back then we will be able to experience again in this documentary. In Warner Bros. and Prime Video we've been able to work with professional partners who make this incredible journey accessible to very many people in film format at the highest level."
