A streetsmart orphan escapes from her orphanage and teams up with a simple-minded janitor, and the two of them journey to get the orphan girl to football tryouts and the janitor to a clinic that may be able to fix his failing eyesight.
An ambitious, streetwise twelve-year-old orphan in India will stop at nothing to get to an elite football academy to pursue her talents, starting with breaking out of the reformatory where she is kept with the help of a blind, mistreated janitor who might stand a chance at a sight-restoring surgery in a faraway city.
A 12-year-old orphan in India who has escaped numerous orphanages dreams of being a football player. When she is sent to yet another orphanage, she goes on the run with the janitor to try to get to the football academy and try out for the national team.
