Synopsis:
The story of the women’s Olympique Lyonnais takes place in a macho society which is evolving at a forced march towards more equality. It is a fight led by women in a hostile universe, directed and arbitrated by men. However, even this world is changing because its survival depends on it, and on the bravery of those who have fought for it. From 1970 to 2022, we went from forbidden beginnings, to the global advent of women’s soccer, largely thanks to Olympique Lyonnais. At the same time, we have gone from invisible women in history to movements demanding gender equality that are finally finding a resounding echo.
