Girl with Goals
Leeza (12), who lives high up in the mountains in northern Pakistan, dreams of becoming a good footballer so she can be selected to play for the new league team, win a scholarship and see the world. At night Leeza gazes up at the stars and talks to her departed father about her dreams. But there is just one problem: Leeza is not very good at football. In fact, she is really quite bad, and the other girls on the local football team don't want to pass the ball to her. But Leeza's younger sister, Leena (11), promises to help. Together, the two sisters start training hard in the steep rocky hills, so Leeza can improve her football skills - and just maybe - be chosen to play for the new league team.

Best Friends
Emine (10) lives in the small town, Pazar, in North East Turkey. Her best friend is Eda Nur (11). There has just been an earthquake 400 km away from where they live. Through the news they learn that many people have died and buildings have collapsed. With the backdrop of fearing the possibility of an earthquake hitting where the girls live, we learn about their friendship and its ups and downs. The girls have to prepare for their first Turkish bagpipe concert. But Emine is jealous of Eda Nur's skills and that challenges her in keeping up the good friendship. Through the interactions between the two girls, we hope for Emine to acknowledge that her and Edanur are good at different things and that she sees the strengths of that in their friendship.
