Synopsis
Le film raconte la rencontre de trois femmes tunisiennes, trois femmes confrontées aux traditions patriarcales conservatrices. Leïla, d'origine modeste, dans l'impossibilité de vivre un amour partagé, a dû fuir et se prostituer. Naïma, médecin, qui l'a prise en charge dans des circonstances extraordinairement pénibles, vit, de son côté, toute seule avec sa fille Mounia. Elle aussi a dû renoncer à une idylle de jeunesse et a fait un mariage arrangé malheureux. Le troisième portrait de femme est celui d'Amina, mariée à un professeur de philosophie aux idées libérales. Elle est pourtant désillusionnée et vit, à présent, séparée.Actors

Most of the characters in the film are not named. A girl disguises herself as a boy to go attend the 2006 World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Bahrain. She travels by bus with a group of male fans, some of whom notice her gender, but do not tell anyone. At the stadium, she persuades a reluctant ticket tout to sell her a ticket; he only agrees to do so at an inflated price. The girl tries to slip through security, but she is spotted and arrested. She is put in a holding pen on the stadium roof with several other women who have also been caught; the pen is frustratingly close to a window onto the match, but the women are at the wrong angle to see it.
