Lotus Sports Club plot

This documentary follows Leak, a young trans man who plays football in Kampong Chhnang's women's under-21 team. We also see Pa Vann, the coach and father figure of Leak and the other LGBTQ+ players on the team. Pa Vann, 61, founded the football team in 2009 to encourage solidarity between heterosexual, lesbian and gender diverse players. He also opened his home to the more vulnerable, often homeless teens, including Leak, giving the LGBTQ+ players a safe place to be themselves. After living with Pa Vann for many years, the pressure to make more money for his family forces Leak to make a heartbreaking decision.
