The Keeper tells the
extraordinary love story between a young English woman and a German POW, who
together overcome prejudice, public hostility, and personal tragedy.
While visiting a POW camp near Manchester at
the end of WWII, Margaret Friar (Freya
Mavor), the daughter of the manager of the local football team, notices
young German soldier Bert Trautmann (David
Kross). Her father is so taken by Bert's prowess as a goal-keeper that he
gets him out of the camp to play for his local team. Margaret and Bert's love
blossoms despite local hostility and resentment of the German POWs. In the
meantime, Bert's heroics in goal are noticed by Manchester's City Football
Club. Rather than going back to Germany like nearly all the other camp inmates,
Bert marries Margaret and signs for Man City. His signing causes outrage to
thousands of Man City fans, many of them Jewish. But Margaret wins support from
an unexpected direction: Rabbi Altmann, a Man City supporter who fled the
Nazis, who publishes an open letter opposing the campaign against Bert. Bert's
path to acceptance begins and peaks at the 1956 FA Cup Final when he secures
victory for Man City by playing on despite breaking his neck. Yet fate twists
the knife for both Margaret and Bert. Alienated and alone, Margaret's and
Bert's loyalty to each other will be put to the test once more. Heartbroken,
Bert wants to give up. Equally heartbroken, Margaret insists that they move
forward and that he keeps on playing. (2020,
