Hokum: A Balance of Cheapness and Luxury
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.

It is FC St. Pauli's most important match and the fans flock to Hamburg's Millerntor Stadium in droves to support their heroes for ninety minutes. Finally, the chance to win promotion to the first Bundesliga is here. Magnus, Kowalski, Arne, Dr. Hennings and Baldu are not going to miss out - completely different people, united by their unconditional love for FC, who make their personal happiness dependent on this one game. But nothing has been won yet. Arson attacks follow, relationships fall apart, harsh suspicions do the rounds. And... Kick-off!
