A ‘candid-eye’ style incursion into the world of professionnal boxing turned popular theater. Fights, simulated and spectacular, take place in the Montreal Forum and, behind the scenes, places where this warrior act is practiced. The cameras, attentive to the most minute details, capture the good and bad fighters that punch and hit each other, roar and grimace, all ingenious ways to better please the public.
