The movie is about a few girls masqueraded as males so they can slip into Tehran’s stadium to see a World Cup qualifying match. The ones who are caught and arrested are taken to a holding area and guarded by soldiers. One sympathetic soldier agrees to watch the game through a peephole and recount the action to the impatient fans. The film was shot in Iran but its screening was banned there.
