Wanted: Strong Woman

Between working as a nurse and taking care of her uncle, a poet living with memory loss, Nadege has a dull life. That is, until she discovers the world of wrestling. Her new passion will bring out a hidden side of her. A colorful short film bristling with poetry, wrestling and feminine strength.
