Heysel 85

The stage is set at Brussels’ Heysel Stadium for the 1985 European Cup Final between Liverpool and Juventus. As thousands of fans descend on the ground, old club rivalries fuel the heated atmosphere, and the confrontation soon spirals into an eruption of violence. With the death toll quickly rising, the mayor’s daughter and an Italian journalist are drawn into the heart of the catastrophe, caught between professional duty, family loyalty, and moral responsibility.

An unflinching look at a moment that football might rather forget, the tragedy unfolds not merely as a historical reconstruction, but as a lived, moment-by-moment experience, right in the heart of the disaster.
