The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick

Josef Bloch, a skilled goalkeeper, is unexpectedly ejected from a game due to his involvement in foul play. He decides to spend the night with a cinema cashier, taking a break from his sports career.

Experienced German goalkeeper Josef Bloch's argument with the referee over an easy goal results in his ejection from the game. He then embarks on a solo journey to Vienna, wandering aimlessly from his cheap hotel to a local cinema. There, he meets Gloria, a polite cashier who catches his eye and may offer a means of escape.
