Sports films are a bit of a rarity in South Korean cinema, which is surprising, because whenever they do release, they tend to do well at the box office. Ladies Football (or soccer) films are even rarer, and not just in Korea. Director Bae Hyo-ming joins the two for his debut “The Shooting Girls”.
Synopsis
