In 1981, Taiwan invited to the Women's World Invitation Tournament
(the Chunghua Cup) - at a time when the DFB (Deutscher Fussball-Bund)
tolerated more than promoted women's soccer, which was officially
banned in Germany until 1970. Since the formation of a women's
national team had not been of interest to the DFB, the invitation went
to the German record champions, the women’s team of SSG 09 Bergisch
Gladbach.In the film, the former players, some of whom started out as
players in an illegal bar team on an ash field in Cologne-Dellbrück,
tell of the now absurd conditions under which they fought for their
great dream of soccer, against all odds and with a good dose of humor.
