Winners

Eleven-year-old Mona and the rest of her Kurdish family have fled Syria and ended up in Berlin. Everything is different here and Mona misses her home, her street football friends, and especially her aunt Helin. When a dedicated teacher recognises Mona’s special talent for football and selects her for the girls’ team, things don’t get easier. Mona is quickly identified as an outsider and playing in a team with the other girls turns out to be more difficult than expected. Each of them is fighting their own battles, but one thing soon becomes clear: they will only win if they all play together.

"Winners" is nominated for the European Film Academy awards in the categorie of European Young Audience Award.
