synopsis
The former strongest man on earth and his crafty manager tour small-town South America staging wrestling matches and challenging all comers. Arriving in Santa Maria, they meet with uncommon enthusiasm - and face a major threat to their livelihood and their friendship. This beautifully realized feature represents a major accomplishment for the vibrant, new Uruguayan film scene.
