The film follows her fight to spread awareness on women’s rights in sport.
From a childhood ravaged by an alcoholic and violent father to the heavy burden of coming out in an era where there was no such thing as LGBTQ+ rights, her path was full of pitfalls. Her success will fuel her desire to make a difference in the recognition of French women’s football, homosexuality, and equal opportunity. It is the story of a woman’s life, a fighter, an uncompromising ode to freedom, to surpassing oneself.
