Eberhard Maier

A young drifter falls in love with a model.

Goalkeeper Josef Bloch is sent off after committing a foul during an away game. This causes him to lose his bearings, and he wanders aimlessly through the city streets and spends the night with the box-office attendant of a movie theatre.

Loosely adapted from Goethe's novel on the social conventions of marriage raised to level of symbolic parable.
