Synopsis:

Two teenagers want to take a shortcut to fame and wealth in this comedy-drama from England. Nicole (Kerrie Hayes) is a fifteen-year-old girl living in Liverpool who has practically become a stranger to her family; her parents have divorced, with her father remarrying and spending most of his time with his new children, while her mother works nights and rarely gets home while her daughter is still there. Nicole is fascinated with soccer, particularly Lee Cassidy (Jamie Doyle), the handsome midfielder with Liverpool's team. Nicole spends as much time as she can at the stadium, hoping to catch a glimpse of her idol, and she meets fellow fan Jasmine (Nichola Burley), who is more attractive and confident and comes from a well-to-do family, but also shares Nicole's fascination with Cassidy and suffers from a similarly distant relationship with her parents. Nicole and Jasmine strike up a friendship and share their obsession with Cassidy as well as their desire to win the heart of a football star and enjoy their own level of fame as a wife or girlfriend. However, reality intrudes on their dreams when they learn that Cassidy is being traded to a team in Madrid, and Nicole and Jasmine hatch a scheme to prevent him from leaving England. Kicks was the first feature film from director Lindy Heymann.

Nicole & Jasmine are two teenagers who bond over a mutual obsession for Premiership footballer, Lee Cassidy. Fuelled by their fantasy of meeting him, they track him down and before they know it their dream has become a nightmare.

Two Liverpudlian teenage girls find themselves devoted to their favorite soccer player, Lee. When Lee's move to Spain is announced, the girls decide to change his mind by any means necessary.
