ARTWORK: PROPAGANDA B · PHOTO: ANNE WILK SYNOPSIS Rio de Janeiro, 2014: The German national team locker room directly after winning the World Cup. Those present thrust them- selves in the middle of the action: the drenched players, the German President and the Chancellor. But what’s truly unique about this image, which captures this moment forever, is not apparent upon first glance. Someone is sitting alone on the bench, untying his shoes: Toni Kroos.
It’s an image that appears to be in character for Kroos’ unique brand of modesty, which for the longest time gave him the reputation of someone who failed to stand out enough. Today, he plays for the world’s biggest club and has won almost all there is to win. He is the most successful German footballer of all time and, if you go by Instagram and his 23 million followers, he has more fans than all other Germans. There are only a few iconic football stars being constantly admired across the globe for their art of handling a ball and controlling a game, winning basically all the relevant titles. There are a hand full of players in each generation and Toni Kroos is one of them.
The feature documentary KROOS produced by Emmy Award winning Producer Leopold Hoesch follows Toni’s path from small town Grefs- wald in eastern Germany to the Capital of world Football Real Madrid. The film provides unseen images of the life of this exceptional athlete and very special individual. It shows him and his teams winning basi- cally every possible Football title several times, including four times the UEFA Champions League, the FIFA World Cup, LaLiga, La Copa and Die Bundesliga. BEHIND THE CAMERA For KROOS, the award winning director Manfred Oldenburg was gran- ted unprecedented behind the scene access to the closed-off world of international football, featuring´ exclusive footage and interviews with sports icons like Zinédine Zidane, Pep Guardiola, Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos. Long serving Club presidents Florentino Pérez and Uli Hoeneß open the doors of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, celebrity fan Robbie Williams gives his explanations of the “incredible Kroos”, as do publicist and philosopher Wolfram Eilenberger and fa- mous German football expert Marcel Reif.
KROOS provides an intimate and highly entertaining insight into the extraordinary life of a professional football player, creator of a charity foundation and, above all, family man. The combination of all three topics is the parenthesis of Toni Kroos’ life of sharing and winning. PRODUCTION DETAILS Title KROOS
