La lutte

Ce documentaire propose une incursion dans le monde de la lutte professionnelle à Montréal. Les combats, simulés et spectaculaires, se déroulent au Forum de Montréal, mais aussi à l'arrière-scène, lieux où se pratique cet art guerrier. Les caméras attentives aux moindres détails captent les bons et les méchants lutteurs qui s'empoignent, se frappent, rugissent et grimacent, rivalisant d'ingéniosité pour le plus grand plaisir des spectateurs.
