SYNOPSIS:
The Football Monologues is a talking heads feature film. It tells the stories of seven different people living in and around the beautiful game. Each of the subjects talks intimately, unveiling their innermost hopes and fears. One by one they touch on themes central to us all: the fragility of our mental selves, the failings of our bodies, the complexities of our relationships and ambitions and our need to connect.
