Sixteen-year-old Nati loves football, even though there is no place for girls on the field during General Franco’s dictatorship in Spain. When the chance to form the first women’s team arises, she doesn’t hesitate and, together with other passionate players, throws herself into training and matches despite the ridicule of those around them. With energy, courage, and a love of the game, they break stereotypes and prove that passion cannot be silenced.
