2016 · 11 min · ★ 10.0 · Action, Documentary, Drama

Explores the themes of persona and subjective reality. Told through the eyes of a young wrestler navigating a decedent and decrepit arena awash with damaged strippers and bombastic wrestlers performing to a horde of human animals, punk, freaks and geeks - we are taken on a journey of flesh and vice, insecurity masked by mirth, sexuality, hubris and bravado - all in the name of fantastical escapism.

Directed by Yoav Lester · Written by Christopher H.F. Mitchell
