On the outskirts of Rome, six teams compete in the women’s soccer championship, the Las Leonas Trophy. All recent immigrants to Italy--the majority from South America--the participants work busy lives as caregivers and house cleaners throughout the city. LAS LEONAS follows the daily struggles, dreams, and frustrations of these women; each with their own story of emigration and family history, but united by a shared passion for soccer. Amidst the pressures of work and the loneliness of adapting to life in a foreign country, the championship offers a vital source of freedom and social belonging. From seasoned players to newbies, the women of LAS LEONAS find themselves transformed on the soccer field as the demands of daily life fade into the background with the liberating rush of comradery and competition.

Isabel Achával co-directs with Chiari Bondi, a film that is tough because of its subjects' stories, but sweet because of the passion behind all their actions. A multicultural underworld with raw suffering and a passion for soccer. {Full Review in Spanish} Go to Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry 11/22/2023
