Christoph Kramer

In the organizer's words:

It's the first days of the 2006 summer vacation when everything changes for 15-year-old Chris. While the World Cup is in full swing, Chris is kicked off his team because he is too small. But he doesn't want to give up his dream of a professional career - and then Debbie, the most beautiful girl at school with whom he has had a crush for ages, actually seems to be interested in him. Chris, who has always felt like an outsider, sees his chance to finally be a bit cool. Between parties where he sneaks out with his best friends and dances for the first time, summer evenings on the roof of the old barn and hot days in the outdoor pool, Chris experiences an emotional rollercoaster ride. In search of himself, he dares to do anything and yet never forgets what is really important: friendship and the certainty that he has really lived.

"Life began in summer", the first novel by soccer world champion Christoph Kramer, takes us all back to that phase of life in which every single moment holds the possibility of changing our lives. Between moments of melancholy and exuberant happiness, he revives the magic of first love and the magic of true friendship - in a summer that you will never forget.
