In the summer of 2004, audiences looked on in disbelief as the Greek National Football Team, a country that had never previously won a single match in a major tournament, took down the giants of world football to become the unlikeliest of European Champions.
The architect behind this unprecedented triumph was legendary German football coach 'King' Otto Rehhagel. After accomplishing every major success in Germany, he made the bold decision to leave all he knew behind and work in a foreign country with the underachieving Greek National Team.
This is the story of how these two contrasting cultures came together to speak the same language and write a new chapter of Greek mythology.

ΚΡΙΤΙΚΕΣ
"Thoughtful and indeed, erudite... this one doesn't disappoint"
A real life feel-good story told so well and so entertainingly... compelling drama - full marks to the director.
King Otto works a superb balance of comic relief and historical drama
“A fairy tale for modern times- a brilliant documentary that should not be missed”
"Technically a documentary, but comes across as an Aesopian fable."
Spectacular movie. Great story of friendship and triumph through thick and thin - a highly rated, world renown film
An engaging {sensitive] portrayal of a real underdog story - with rousing material and many insights.
Christopher André Marks shows us in a gripping way, how these outsiders were able to achieve something unique
"A solid, well-deserved homage to Otto - the very first"
"A fairy tale... very solid"
Modern Heroic Story with a Wink... the film works. Feels like a place next to Zeus, Apollo and Hercules
Very entertaining film, well worth seeing and viewers will have a lot of fun - even if they don't like football.
