The eternal 17-year-old from Leimen fills half a century. In the film “Boris Becker – The Player” the eventful life of the red-blond icon is traced in all its facets.
Faithful to the question: Who is Boris Becker?… the documentary spans the arc between unforgotten jumps of joy in Wimbledon and the bankruptcy headlines of recent months.

“I’m not your Boris,”Becker defends himself against the oversized appropriation in his homeland. The goal is always the same: to win the game,”Becker compares tennis with life.
