Les furies

With its intense and imperfect heroines, Les furies (The Furies) is Quebec’s first female-led sports comedy. Waterloo will now have its own semi-pro men’s hockey team, effectively kicking the amateur women’s leagues out of the arena. To avenge their lost ice time, an impulsive hockey player and a ruthless octogenarian – a former derby champion – have a plan: recruit the city’s misfits and start an underground roller derby team. With the help of the Cercle de fermières (Circle of Women Farmers), they will prove that women’s sports can also thrill crowds and that sisterhood is the ultimate act of resistance.
