Exclusive: Indie Sales unveils first image of female soccer comedy.
Paris-based Indie Sales has unveiled a first image of French director Julien Hallard’s comedy Let The Girls Play inspired by the creation of France’s first official all-female soccer squad in the 1960s.
Described as social comedy in the vein of Bend It Like Beckham, the film revolves around the early days of a real-life, all-women squad set up almost by chance on the fringes of France’s Stade de Reims football club at the end of the 1960s.

Rising French actors Vanessa Guide and Max Boublil [pictured] are co-stars in the mainly female cast.
