This was a look into a world of masculinity that often treads into toxic territory - the boxing ring. Overall, the cinematography (the use of mirrors especially) enhances the storytelling. The characters are believable and well-played. This could easily be a full feature instead of a short. The internal struggle of coming to terms with being vulnerable is well done here. Rewatchable. I was left wanting more.

one of films with a strange purpose - to give questions. not a great story or impressive acting. only a form of if about the rules, expectations and the role of challenges. about appearances. and the right answer. the competition between two boxers. a new one and a star of box hall. the tension. and the last scene. one of the films who propose to imagine the deep essence of relations. and the right way to discover the other. a box story. different by many others. but useful. for this small motif.
