In Iceland, a girls’ basketball team and their determined coach aim to change the world and break some glass ceilings on the way. They have accomplished so much on the court but now wish to play against boys’ teams, only to discover local regulations do not allow this to happen. The team achieves remarkable results, and the girls are becoming strong, independent, and are ready to raise the bar, but is the world ready for them? We join their daunting journey, closely following their fight and their personal, family, gender, and civil growth. This is an insightful, profound, and heartfelt film, full of love for sports, that will make you loudly cheer for a group of inspiring young girls.
