2018
Synopsis
Promising Swiss footballer Mario is on his way to the top, closing in on the success he and his father always dreamed of. When talented striker Leon joins his team, he and Mario fall for each other. Soon, everything Mario has built is threatened, as prejudices begin to impact both players’ careers.
Editorial
Society’s redlines map onto the white lines of the soccer pitch in this urgent examination of bigotry on and off the field. A delicately wrought examination of uneven social progress, Mario is an impassioned retort to homophobia, steeped in the tender pleasures of budding romance.
