Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Brazil's military dictatorship's final years, the film's anarchist politics were genuinely subversive — women's football was banned nationally until 1979.
The real Corinthians women's team wouldn't exist until 1997; this film essentially imagined them into being thirteen years early.
