Une belle équipe

There is an incredible amount of energy, passion, community spirit - and sometimes aggression - in soccer: a small soccer club in the north of France is threatened with closure after the entire team is banned for a brawl on the pitch. It is up to the women to join forces and form a soccer club. After all, nothing less than the financing of the small provincial town's soccer pitch is at stake... and star actor Kad Merad (“Welcome to the Sticks”) will soon be on the pitch as the women's team coach. After the comedies "One man and his cow" and "New Biz in the Hood", Franco-Algerian director Mohamed Hamidi continues his series of human and humorous social chronicles with "Queens of the Field". In actor Kad Merad, Hamidi has found the perfect cast for his lively sports comedy and a witty counterpart to the women's team led so energetically by actresses Sabrina Ouazani and Céline Sallette. With good humor, cheap machismo, tackles in the kitchen and on the pitch, "Une belle équipe" shows: you must be 11 friends! "A delightful energy runs through this popular comedy, with its tender look at the daily life of a small community, finally ready to dribble the patriarchy for the love of sport. Opposite Kad Merad, who's full of humanity, the girls in shorts are in top form, led by Céline Sallette." (Guillemette Odicino, at: telerama.fr)
