  Viewed as part of the lineup in the 2016 myFrenchfilmfestival.com contenders in competition. Warm, endearing tale of a girl coming to terms, both with her work, and one of her passions, football, using which there's a little familial bonding on display, as well as bonding with friends. The build-up is deceptively slow/gradual, and surely finds its footing over the final 10-15m minutes, by which time our lead has metamorphosed into someone different from the one we got to meet at the beginning. Definitely a lesson on how mainstream teen-based uplifting dramas need to be made. Worth watching for sure....
