A sensitive film about the world of men’s boxing, where there seems to be no room for weakness – with a magnificent Samuel Kircher in the lead role. He plays the young star of a boxing group whose life is turned upside down after an accident. He survives only thanks to his best friend Matteo, but his injury to his punching hand not only changes his attitude toward the sport, but also the group dynamics within the boxing team: conflicts escalate, the atmosphere is tense – and his friendship with Matteo begins to crumble.

“Moments of silence in the woods and sudden bursts of violence in the gym leave viewers unsettled. By balancing brutal encounters with quiet reflection, the film forges an emotional resonance that lingers long after the final bell.” (www.gazettely.com)
