This is a kind of mockumentary, but in a totally real situation.This is a kind of mockumentary, but in a totally real situation: the football match for Iran to qualify for the World Cup 2006. You dont get to see a single ball kicked, only a group of women trying desperately to sneak into the stadium to watch the match. In this strictly men-only environment the women go to crazy lengths to try and catch the excitement of their team making it through!
