Helena Mikkelsen (Ane Dahl Torp), a successful European women’s soccer coach, discovers her achievements are ridiculed by male dominated critics. Her retaliation for respect leads her to become the head coach of an all-male team in a top division European premier league. A single mother, Helena quickly realizes misogyny and hostility dictate her new role, and she finds herself at risk of losing both her daughter and her career.

This acclaimed fictional Norwegian soccer drama stars Norway’s well-known actress Ane Dahl Torp as Helena Mikkelsen. John Carew (former Norwegian league player ’97-’12) and Axel Bøyum ("Eyewitness," "Gullruten") also star.
