Write a short summary of what happens in the film

'The Loyalty-test' is a hidden-camera stunt which takes place in a business hotel in Düsseldorf, where 3 die-hard fans are invited for a "TV interview" about fan loyalty. Once seated, they get an offer they can't refuse from two fake football agents to switch teams and become ambassadors for their most rival club. What we then see is an illustration fo the fact that loyalty of a football fan is priceless.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

The Bundesliga is Germany's primary football competition, the football league with the highest average stadium attendance worldwide and watched by millions of football fans around the world. During 3 weeks of winter, the competition is interrupted and attention shifts towards the transfer window (‘mercato’) with clubs willing to offer a lot of money for star players to change colors.
