The Goalie, an addict from a village in the Swiss Mittelland, looks back on a lost paradise, telling of his world in the 1980s in the everyday language of the place. His view of his surroundings is clouded by the wish to put his life so far in a good light. After a prison sentence he tries to get back on his feet in his home village, finds casual work, falls in love with a waitress and travels with her to Spain. But the old stories keep catching up with him. A portrait of a small, little-known world in the middle of Switzerland, told in Bernese dialect.
