It is the dreamlike counterpart to Sönke Wortmann's "Deutschland.
A summer fairytale".
In "Germany - World Champion of Hearts", the stars are not the stars, but the fans.
Because it wasn't just the footballers who made the World Cup an unforgettable party event, but the soccer fans on the street.
For four weeks, the film team accompanied German and foreign soccer fans at a World Cup that has gone down in history as the greatest celebration of all time.
The result is a highly emotional film that captures hope, joy and ecstasy, but also suffering and boundless sadness.
The fans give the camera an intimate insight into their soccer souls and reveal astonishing views of the World Cup and its host.
First broadcast: Wednesday, December 13, 2006, 00:00, ZDF.
