About Bend it Like Beckham

Jesminder "Jess" Bhamra is the daughter of British Indian Sikhs living in Hounslow, London. Jess is infatuated with football, but because she is a woman, her conservative family won't let her play. Juliette "Jules" Paxton is the same age and the daughter of a white English family. While Jules' father is supportive of her passion for football, her mother unsuccessfully tries to steer her more towards non-sporting girly activities. Whilst on a jog through the park, Jules discovers Jess's skills, befriends her, and invites her to try out for the local women's football team, the Hounslow Harriers.
