Synopsis

"Out of Bounds" is the story of Mike, a young Italian boxer from Trieste. A troubled man, like many of his peers, Mike is thirty years old and still a dreamer. His dream, shared by his sister Anna, is to become a champion. But, as often happens, life is harsh, bitter, and full of hidden dangers. Mike falls for the allure of these dangers, and starts earning money in illegal fistfights. Eventually, he decides the world of illegal fighting is not for him, but getting out will be harder than he ever imagined.
