This is the story of a 22 year old cattle herder and his attempts to become a pro wrestler in Senegal. He has been chosen to compete in an annual talent event in Dakar, and faces a possible breakthrough. It's a modern tale about fighting ones way out of poverty, and it's the story of a sport filled with myths and extreme voodoo rituals.
