Offside
In Iran, women are strictly forbidden from entering football stadiums. A determined young girl disguises herself as a boy to witness the crucial World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Bahrain at Azadi Stadium. Caught in the act, she is detained in a makeshift holding area alongside other women who defied the rules. Unable to see the pitch, they must rely on the erratic commentary of a soldier who struggles to distinguish between the players. This film offers a poignant yet lighthearted look at societal restrictions and the universal love for the game.
