Germany. Our favorite enemy in everything; from football to the Eurovision Song Contest. Our opposite. But also, our big brother. The country of four times world football champions, Beethoven, Rammstein, Nena, Audi, Mercedes and Volkswagen. The best lager on earth, the Oktoberfests, Schopenhauer, Kant and Nietzsche. Of techno parties and the underground scene, but also of making few jokes, following the rules and that eternal Pünktlichkeit. Who are those Germans? Theo Maassen crosses the border to find out. With the European Championship approaching and football as a starting point, Theo gives an adventurous tour to get to know the real Germany. Are the Germans smarter, faster, stronger and better than us? What is their secret?
