Mario gay movie ending

Hurt that Mario so easily continues to publicly deny his homosexuality and their relationship, Leon quits the team and moves back to Germany. Heartbroken, Mario puts all of his energy into training, eventually receiving contract offers from both his hometown club and a club in Hamburg.

Mario and Leon's sexuality gets out and has to be denied. The club, supposedly, is behind them, their fellow players make homophobic jibes, if it becomes public their careers would be over etc. It's an issue largely ignored in the cinema so it's good to see it being dealt with now.

Mario’s heartbreaking confession to Leon that he is “not brave enough,” which seals their tragic separation. The final sequence: Mario alone on the pitch, victorious but hollow, as the camera lingers on his lost, confused expression. Mario is devastating because it feels painfully real.

As their relationship intensifies, the pair become inseparable, yet Mario is desperate to hide their love from his teammates. As rumours of their relationship begin to circulate, the boys are.
