Weekend Rebels (German: Wochenendrebellen) is a 2023 German sports comedy-drama film directed by Marc Rothemund and written by Richard Kropf.[1] Starring Florian David Fitz, Aylin Tezel and Cecilio Andresen.[2] It is based on the autobiographical book Wir Wochenendrebellen by Mirco and Jason von Juterczenka.[3] It is about the journey of a father and his autistic son to find the latter's favorite soccer team by visiting all 56 teams in their respective stadiums.[4] It premiered on September 28, 2023, in German theaters.[5]

Synopsis

Mirco travels a lot for work, while his wife Fatime organizes the demanding family life. Their ten-year-old son Jason is autistic, and his everyday life consists of daily routines and set rules. When Jason's family is suggested to attend a special school, Mirco is also challenged as a parent. He makes a pact with his son: Jason promises to do his best not to be provoked at school if Mirco helps him find his favorite soccer club. However, Jason only wants to decide on a club once he has seen the 56 first, second, and third division teams live in their respective stadiums.[6]
