Jamila plot

Short documentary about Jamila, a Muslim girl who grew up in the Netherlands and who plays soccer very well. She always plays with a headscarf on: during all training sessions and matches with her club, on the street with boys, alone with the ball on the sidewalk and under her father's watchful eye in the park. She explains that she has a conflict with her father. She doesn't want her to play football with bare knees. The film shows where the different sides of Jamila - as a football star and as a Muslim girl - correspond and where they clash.
