Young women disguise themselves as boys to get into a football stadium in Tehran for a World Cup qualifier. It won a Silver Bear at Berlin.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jafar Panahi's comedy about girls sneaking into a Tehran football match is warm, funny and subversive. Shot in real time during a World Cup qualifier, it makes a joyous, gently angry point about freedom.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
