In 1982, tennis teacher Günther Bosch discovers a fascinatingly ambitious boy on the tennis court: Boris Becker. Because he has misbehaved, he has to train with the girls. Bosch takes him under his wing and coaches him all the way to Wimbledon. As the youngest player ever, Boris Becker wins the final in 1985 and becomes a star overnight. It is now up to Bosch to keep him under control so that the victory does not remain a one-off.
