Eleven-year-old Mona fled Syria with her Kurdish family of seven and ended up in Berlin, more precisely in Wedding. There she goes to a notorious elementary school. 90 percent "foreigners". Chaos reigns here. Most of the teachers are at their wits' end and the pupils' frustration levels are rising daily. Mona's too. She can barely speak German, but she can play soccer. In her home country, she often played soccer with her friends on the street. She misses her home, her friends and especially her aunt Helin. She was Mona's hero and always supported her passion for soccer. Everything is different in Germany. Mr. Che, a dedicated teacher, recognizes Mona's extraordinary talent and accepts her into the girls' team. Well-intentioned, but anything but easy. Mona is quickly considered an outsider, and getting along with the other girls turns out to be more difficult than expected. Each of them is fighting her own battle, but it soon becomes clear that they can only win if they play together.
