Bend It Like Beckham
A kaleidoscope of colors and cultures comically collide as an Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer-playing daughter the traditional way. Unlike her beautiful sister Pinky, who is preparing for an Indian wedding and spends her life cooking the perfect chapatti, Jess's dream is to play professional soccer like her hero David Beckham. Wholeheartedly resisting Jess's unorthodox ambitions, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her than holding her back. When Jess is forced to choose between tradition and her favorite sport, her family must decide whether to let her pursue her dreams... and a soccer ball.
