"Offside" was successfully presented at the Berlin Festival in 2006, where he was awarded the Silver Bear. The film tells the story of a group of girls who want to watch a football game, something forbidden to women in Iran, and to do that disguise themselves as men.

In the film there are no professional actors, because the choice of Panahi has favored the appearance of almost documentary narrative.
