Moviemento 30.05.2025 – 16:00
Women's football was banned in Brazil until 1979, and women were only able to form teams officially in 1983, the year ONDA NOVA was produced. This erotic and anarchic comedy, banned by the Brazilian dictatorship before its release and recently restored in 4K, brings together stories about the young players of the newly formed Gayvotas Football Club. With the support of well-known players from the 80’s, involved in Brazilian struggle for democracy, such as Casagrande, they face the prejudices of a conservative society. At the same time, they deal with their personal and family problems as they prepare for a symbolic international match.
