Together with LPA Film Festival we recover the multi-award-winning “LA LUCHA”, the epic tale of the bregador hero inside and outside the wrestling arena. Tenerife-born director José Alayón portrays Canarian wrestling in cinema as never before, in a drama in which a widowed father and his daughter seek refuge in sport.
