SYNOPSIS
Two brothers from Berlin are living their big dream: playing basketball together in the NBA, winning the World Championship with the German national team in 2023 and qualifying to take part in the Olympic Games in Paris. Two young men at the height of success so far.
In four episodes, the high end documentary series THE WAGNER BROTHERS tells the story of Moritz and Franz, whose special relationship is constantly put to the test: By the pressures of tough sports business, the lure of money and fame, the extreme physical challenges. The camera is rolling, when the brothers celebrate successes in sport and suffer setbacks. But also in the moments, when they are just normal young men spending time with their friends and family in Orlando and Berlin.
