The story

In the quiet darkness of a football stadium at night, a mysterious figure juggles the ball in the light of the floodlights. In poetic verse, a deep male voice tells of the dream of advancement in football. The powerful, precise ball movements leave no doubt about the perfection expected of men's football. But the tension increases with every verse. With the words "I play with the king and I am the queen" and the Puma logo, the thrilling twist becomes clear and a female footballer confidently reveals herself to the audience. A statement in favour of the technical brilliance and power of women's football.
