Offside (Fuera de Juego)

Persian audio, Spanish subtitles · Filmoteca

Most of the characters in the film are not named. A girl disguises herself as a boy to go attend the 2006 World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Bahrain. She travels by bus with a group of male fans, some of whom notice her gender, but do not tell anyone. Upon arrival at the grounds of Azadi Stadium, she persuades a reluctant ticket tout to sell her a ticket; he only agrees to do so at an inflated price.
