Synopsis

"Women will not be allowed to practice sports incompatible with the conditions of their nature". The decree in force between 1941 and 1983 used to prohibit women from playing football. Decades later, women's football's struggle for space remains a challenge. In the midst of so many stories, “Made in Várzea” shows the lowland games played by women, following the daily lives of two players with very different lives, but with a passion for football as a common link. Yolanda, bus driver and Flávia, beautician, circumvent sexism using sport as a form of liberation.
