The film stars Dany Placard as Bruno, a sawmill worker whose girlfriend (Isabelle Blais) breaks up with him after suffering a miscarriage. Losing both his home and his job in the aftermath, Bruno is not defeated, but rather decides to rekindle his long-dormant dream of becoming a professional wrestler.[2] The film also stars Sandrine Bisson and Louis Champagne.

The film premiered at the Saguenay International Short Film Festival in March 2015,[1] where it won the Prix créativité and the Bourse de création régionale.[3] It was screened in the Director's Fortnight stream at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival,[2] where it received an honorable mention from the Illy Prize jury.

The film received a Quebec Cinema Award nomination for Best Short Film at the 18th Quebec Cinema Awards,[4] and a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 4th Canadian Screen Awards.[5]
