Synopsis
In the heart of Rosario, Argentina, seventeen-year-old Camila Hassan lives a double life: by day she's a student and an artist; at night, under the cover of darkness, she plays soccer on her neighborhood pitch. Her talent has earned her the nickname "La Furia," but her family forbids girls from playing—a tradition rooted in generations of men who have dominated the sport. When Diego Ferrari, a star player for Rosario Central, arrives and falls for her, Camila's secret becomes harder to keep, and the pressure mounts as she faces injury, sexism, and a fractured relationship with her father. Told through alternating first-person chapters from both women in the story, Furia is a fierce coming-of-age tale about identity, ambition, and breaking tradition.
