- Summary:
- Gracia, 18 years old, has only one dream: to play football. But in the Central African Republic, playing football is more than a challenge for women. Gracia fights with her mother, who wants her to wear skirts and behave like women are expected to. She also shies away from high school, which threatens to expel her. Never mind. She has no time to lose. Her only desire is to play football and get recruited by the national team.
