The TV series "Playing for Keeps" is an Australian drama about the wives of professional football players. From the outside, these women's lives seem like a sweet fairy tale: perfect homes, luxurious cars, legs "up to their ears," expensive dresses, and handsome husbands that every girl in the country dreams of. But in reality, being a football player's wife is a whole craft that requires patience, cruelty, self-confidence, and nerves of steel. Lies, betrayals, scandals in the press, and even murders - that's the world in which the heroines of the series live.
