Kevine and Fortune, two inseparable friends, play for the same football team in Yaoundé. To achieve their dream of playing for a foreign club, they must gain recognition as female footballers. Kevine signs with a renowned team and leaves her country behind, while Fortune holds onto the hope of joining her one day. A dazzling modern tale of sisterhood and determination.

A Swiss-Cameroonian study entitled Kick it like a Girl! reveals the complex reality faced by Cameroonian women footballers, who must navigate conflicting expectations: reconciling their passion for the game with domestic responsibilities and societal pressure to become mothers, wives, and caretakers. Despite their dedication, they receive minimal financial support from the Cameroonian Football Federation and often train on unsuitable pitches with inadequate equipment.
This deeply personal and inherently political struggle inspired filmmaker Sarah Imsand, who places it at the heart of her film. It is powerfully embodied by the radiant Fortune and Kevine. Their very presence on the field—donning a jersey, building strength, showing their legs, running, claiming their power—makes them icons of resistance and determination. Their drive to live differently, to defy injustice and discrimination, to fight for their friendship and sisterhood, resonates as both a personal act of courage and a universally necessary affirmation.
