Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film captures a never-before-seen stunt that takes place in Dubai. The legend, Zinedine Zidane, and a rising local star, Nouf Faleh take over one of Dubai's most iconic landmarks, the Dubai Frame, and turn into a venue to play the ultimate game of footvolley. Lobbing the ball to each other through the mammoth building. Symbolizing the global legend of today passing his legacy to the young girl who represents the future of female football in the Middle East.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

In the Middle East, 77% of men grow up playing football. Due to societal pressures and norms of the community, that number is less than 23% when it comes to women. As a result, there are almost no Middle Eastern women representing female athletes in the international football fraternity. We wanted to give every young Middle Eastern girl a new icon to look up to. Someone who made them feel that they too could one day be recognized for their talent
