Investor Lars Windhorst surprisingly invested in Hertha BSC in 2019, giving the club great ambitions and financial resources. However, the dream turned into a nightmare for the fans: a change of coach, a lack of strategy and a dispute with the investor led to a crisis. The documentary shows the most difficult years in the club's 130-year history and gives the fans a voice. Embarrassments such as the departure of Jürgen Klinsmann, the coronavirus affair involving Salomon Kalou and the espionage scandal surrounding Windhorst and President Gegenbauer followed.
