Women's football was banned in Brazil until 1983, the year Onda Nova was produced. This erotic and anarchist dramatic comedy brings together stories about the female players of a newly formed football team, who are forced to deal with the prejudices of a conservative society that reviles them, as well as grapple with their own personal problems.

Curator's Note
