The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick

1972 NR 1h 41m 6.6

Goalkeeper Josef Bloch is ejected during a game for foul play. He leaves the field and goes to spend the night with a cinema cashier.

After letting in an easy goal, experienced German goalkeeper Josef Bloch, believing it is offside, engages in a loud, fierce argument with the referee. Moments later he's sent off; he packs his things into a small bag and catches the first tram into Vienna to wander aimlessly from his cheap hotel to the local cinema. Before long, the polite cashier Gloria catches Josef's eye. She seems willing to hear him; can she prove a cathartic means of escape?
