ZDF - Germany

Benet is 11 years old and has restricted growth. To be precise, he’s 1.11 meters tall. As a passionate sportsperson, he would love to finally score his first match-time goal in a soccer tournament this year. He plays for his local club in Rangsdorf, a small town in Brandenburg near Berlin, with teammates of normal stature. So far, he has never scored a goal in a match, although he’s a very skilled soccer player. However, as a player of short stature, he covers less ground, and his tackling is not as effective due to his dwarfism. But his team is behind him and wants to help him achieve his goal. They tailor new drills and tactics to help put Benet in an ideal scoring position. The German national team for dwarfism even takes Benet under its wing and invites him to a extra-special training session. So with everyone behind him, will Benet finally achieve his dream and score the first goal he has so long been yearning for?
