Winner of the SoFoot 2024 festival award, this documentary portrays the lives of a group of women living in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, who are nearly 60 years old and share a common past: they are the foundation of Brazil’s first women’s football team. The experi-ences they had while travelling the world, representing the national team in the 1980s and 1990s, however, did not guarantee them recognition.
Their stories were never told, and the economic benefits they received at the time were negligible. Each of them forged new directions and purposes in their lives after their time on the field came to an end. The film follows the daily routines of each woman today, reflecting on where their dreams went, how they cope with memory, choices, and the process of aging.
