Plot summary
Fred plans to marry his girlfriend Mara, and he proposes to her in front of a sold-out basketball arena. Instead of accepting, Mara puts that decision on her spoiled son Linus. In order to get Linus to like him, Fred decides to give him a basketball from his favorite team. He poses as a fan using a wheelchair so that he can get it, but when he catches the ball, he also catches the attention of the young, attractive filmmaker Denise, who wants to feature a disabled fan in a PR campaign for the team. Fred has to keep playing his role, while the real disabled and really furious fan Ronny might call his bluff at any moment.

Reception

Matthew Englander of LiveJournal gave the film rather mixed review, writing, "have to admit that parts of it were quite funny but overall it went on too long". Marcus Kleine Filmseit called the film "politically incorrect", but praised the performance of Christoph Maria Herbst.
