The film follows the true events of a men's volleyball team, composed mainly of gay and kathoey (transgender) athletes.

[1] The film was released in 2000 and is set in 1996, when the real team competed and won the national championships in Thailand.

The two main characters, Mon and Jung, play two gay transgender women, who had been constantly overlooked by volleyball coaches because of their appearance.

[citation needed] Mon and Jung are then forced to enlist the help of other gay and transgender friends who they used to play volleyball with in university.

Because of their appearance on court, many of the match officials intend to ban the team, soon dubbed "The Iron Ladies", from the tournament.
