      The young woman on the left comes from a conservative (I think Muslim) family that doesn’t like her playing soccer. The movie is about her navigating the pressure. It’s been a while but I remember it being pretty good

        Sikh family, but broadly speaking you got it. It’s a really nice coming of age movie that passes the Bechdel test easily (there is a hint of boy drama, IIRC, just not out of proportion to being a teenager), and it’s also a very accurate slice of life portrait for English Sikhs, if my experiences with my wife’s extended family are any indication.
