熱鬥獅子球

Dorothy Secondary School’s girls’ handball team captain, Man Li-shan, leads her teammates from different ethnic backgrounds in secret training, determined to win the championship in the “Inter-School Handball League.” However, a recent reform in activities forces their practice hall to be shared with the newly established Lion Team. As a result, conflicts arise between Man and the Lion Team captain, Chi-Leung, with both teams unwilling to back down, leading to mutual destruction.

When lions meet handball, can this youthful clash ultimately transform into a harmonious symphony of dreams?
