The Football Aficionado plot

In defiance of the Iranian government's ban on women being present in football stadiums, 27-year-old Zahra puts on a moustache and enjoys live football matches disguised as a man. Her story spreads rapidly via social media; soon, her simple initiative becomes a source of inspiration for Iranian women and a symbol of resistance and change for her generation.
