The mismatch...
The game spirit
During Nazi atrocity era, a football match is proposed between Hungary prisoners and Team Hitler on the occasion of Hitler's birthday ; the prisoners are winning by virtue of their skills ; during half time they are given an oral assurance that they win freedom if they lose deliberately ; they win and lose their lives.
The story is told in the flashback by the last ,13th member of the team, then a boy who manages to hide as per the advice of his captain.
The movie seems to be based on historical facts. It is worth watching by all those who believe in a fair game, at least there is no financial corruption as rampant in the sports and many other faculties of present era.
