Dreams are an important thing to have, at the start of the film Jess is dreaming about playing football for a team, her idol David Beckham is in the dream, he passes the ball to her and she scores a goal which wins the match. Her dream ended when her mother interrupted it by yelling at her about how pointless football is. Soon she snapped back to reality and her mother is shouting at her, “Your sister’s getting engaged and you’re sitting here watching this skinhead boy!” and Jess replied “Mum, it’s Beckhams Corner!”

Jess’s parents only want her to concentrate on university and not football; they let her play football when she was young but now that she is 18 they won’t allow it anymore. Jess continues to play football in the park with her male friends. One day in the park she met a girl named Jules who played for a girl’s football team and asked her to try out.
