German drama centered around the refugee Mona, who finds her place in a girls' football team.
Mona (Dileyla Agirman) is eleven years old when she flees from Syria to Germany with her Kurdish family. In Berlin, she starts attending a school in the Wedding district. Although Mona's German skills are still not good, she soon finds a way to connect with others beyond words. For Mona has a talent for football, which the dedicated sports teacher Mr. Chepovsky (Andreas Döhler), known as Mr. Che, soon recognizes. Once included in the girls' team, Mona proves her fighting spirit. Initially, she is ostracized by the other girls, but when the team realizes they can only win as a team, cultural barriers soon become a thing of the past.
Based on her own childhood experiences, the German-Kurdish director and screenwriter Soleen Yusef presents "Being a Winner," a touching and encouraging story about belonging, solidarity, and team spirit.
