Bend It Like Beckham is a 2002 romantic-comedy film about an 18-year-old Indian girl, Jess Bhamra, living in London. Jess is passionate about playing soccer, but her traditional Sikh parents forbid her from playing the sport. She joins a local women’s soccer team and meets her coach, Joe, and the rest of her teammates.
Jess and Joe become close and he helps her to improve her skills. She also meets Jules, a teammate, who is more confident and free-spirited than Jess. Jules and Joe help Jess to become more confident and independent.
Meanwhile, Jess’s parents are trying to arrange a marriage for her to a suitable Indian man. Jess is torn between her parents’ wishes and her passion for soccer. She eventually decides to tell them the truth and they reluctantly accept her decision.
Jess continues to play soccer and she and Jules become close friends. Jess and Joe also grow closer and eventually kiss.
The team makes it to the finals of a tournament and Jess’s parents come to watch. At the end of the match, Jess takes a penalty shot and scores the winning goal. Her parents are proud of her and accept her decision to pursue soccer.
