In conservative Iran, public life is is the realm of men only, where women are even banned from attending football matches. As the Islamic Republic competes for a place in the 2006 World Cup, a group of fervent female football supporters disguise themselves as men so they too can watch to see whether their national team will triumph at the game they love. But when their charade is discovered, they are confined to a holding pen, where the torture they must endure is to hear the cheers and shouts of the match without seeing it. Jafar Panahi's works have redefined the humanitarian themes of contemporary Iranian film and challenge both the society of his homeland as well as 21st century cinema.
