Languidly paced, texturally gritty, and groundbreaking in production style, this feature film portrays a poor Romany boxer, a former Olympiad from Slovakia who must endure a series of last fights to get enough money to convince his girlfriend not to abort their coming child. The actor is actually a pro boxer, some of the scenes are actual matches, and this film punches you square in the gut, repeatedly.
