This is especially important for a 10-year-old like Max, who is struggling with bullying in his new school. However, the gang’s plan to help him backfires when Horst, a former Bundesliga soccer coach, dares Max’s overly ambitious gym teacher, Stöhle, to a soccer match: the school team, along with Max’s friends Laura and Ole, versus a squad of elderly misfits! Things take a twist when a haunting in the castle adds another layer to their adventure…
