Mario is in love for the first time in life, so really crush. In Leon, the new from Germany. Although he plays in the front of the storm and could even be dangerous to him, when it comes to who can ascend to the first team. But Mario does not think about that now. He wants to feel Leon, smell, be near him. This does not remain hidden to others in the club and soon make the first rumors around the round. Mario sees his career as a professional footballer in danger, but at the same time wants to lose Leon at no cost. He has to make a decision. [Google translation]

Notes
The following is an excerpt from CGiii:
"Until all sexual orientations are accepted and fully embraced by all sexual orientations...compromises are always going to be the rule rather than the alternative. Marcel Gisler's well-acted film shows this compromise from the only two perspectives that exist...there's the living-the-lie for a greater [personal] glory [aka fame & fortune]..or, there's the sacrifice, give it all up for self-preservation...it all depends on how thick your skin is! Harsh, indeed it is...but, that's still the reality."
