In Florida-based filmmaker Noah Salzman‘s emotional debut feature, Adolfo Rivera (Germain Arroyo) is an 18-year-old, undefeated boxer from a conservative Catholic family in Miami. His love for his tight-knit family is apparent, not just in their time spent together, but in the bruises and broken bones he’s willing to endure time and time again in order to help them pay the bills.

While Adolfo may be remarkably talented in the ring, his family’s dreams for his profession are far different from what Adolfo has in mind. Adolfo is secretly saving his winnings for the biggest fight of his life: self-acceptance in his desire to transition into a woman.

Director Noah Salzman is scheduled to appear for a Q&A.
