“I spent a lot of money on boo-
ze, birds and fast cars. The rest
I just squandered”. So wrote
George Best (1946-2005), one
of the greatest football players
to have ever graced the world
stage and the forerunner of the
rock star persona in football.
His only son, Calum Best, has
indulged in many of his famous
father’s excesses, but being fa-
mous thanks to a man he barely
knew, gradually became unbe-
arable. Calum decided to em-
bark on a road-trip to discover
who his father really was throu-
gh the people who had known
him. This film is the story of a
son searching for a father. A
very famous father, of whom
we all know everything, but
who failed to show his true side
to his only son.

MY BEST
One day in 1985, Irmela Men-
sah-Schramm noticed a racist
sticker on a wall and scratched
it off. Since then, her daily mis-
sion is to delete any trace of
nazi, racist or homophobic pro-
paganda from the walls of Ber-
lin. German neo-Nazis wants to
see her dead, while supporters
all over Europe admire the bra-
very of the clumsy, 65 years old
woman. Why did she embark
on this risky struggle? This is
the story of a stubborn, single
woman, but it is also the story
of how the simple act of saying
“no” can still be revolutionary
in today’s increasingly intole-
rant Europe
