Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Original language audio with English, German & French subtitles***Eight People from the streets of Austria getting their second chance in life by competing at the Homeless World Cup in Melbourne. The street-soccer championship for homeless people, asylum seekers, former alcoholics and drug addicts. Non of them will earn money in this competition, it's about much more than that: a chance to play themselves their way back into life. Soccer gives them back feelings they lost a long time ago: respect, pride, self-confidence. And renewed zest for life. Perhaps, above all, renewed zest for life.

The Homeless World Cup is an annual, international football tournament, uniting teams of people, among them the homeless, asylum seekers, former alcoholics and drug addicts. The teams take part in a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country and change their lives forever. None of them will earn money in this competition - it's about much more than that: a chance to play themselves back into life. Kick-Off is a remarkable documentary that follows the Austrian team as they prepare physically and mentally for the tournament in Melbourne Australia in 2008. The film tells the stories of these determined individuals as they regain feelings they lost a long time ago: respect, pride, self-confidence and a renewed zest for life.
