WINNERS by Soleen Yusef tells the story of 11-year-old Mona (Dileyla Agirman). She has fled Syria with her family and starts a new life at a school in the rebellious Wedding district in Berlin, where anarchy reigns.

By joining the girls’ team, with her teachers support, she develops courage, teamwork, and the will to win together with the team.
