The Pass

The Pass (2016) follows two young soccer players whose impulsive kiss on the night before their debut match becomes the hinge on which their lives turn. Plunged into a sporting world where image and machismo rule, the moment of intimacy is quickly buried under pressure, ambition, and carefully managed public personas. What begins as a private secret steadily influences their choices, careers, and the fragile bond between them.

Over the next decade their paths diverge into fame, failure, denial, and regret, exposing the personal cost of hiding who you are. The film is a tense, intimate study of friendship, masculinity, and the corrosive power of secrets, delivering both painful realism and emotional vulnerability as it traces how one fleeting act reverberates through years of identity and consequence.
