Cartoon series. The unsuccessful amateur footballers at “Borussia Hodenhagen” play against opponents from various pop culture franchises and other topics. In this episode Hodenhagen encounters religions that form a team and play together. The episode satirically exaggerates the excessive idealisation of football, in which players are regarded as equals to God, get divine help through “the hand of God” or represent their own religion together along with the football god. The world religions in the context of football are playfully thought out with clever wordplay.
Excerpt from the jury’s statement
For more ease and tolerance – without losing dignity.
