Synopsis
The story of a Soviet Bruce Lee and a Martial Arts school that has become a safe haven inside a violent conflict zone. Dagestan, a Russian Caucasus Republic on the lawless verge of economic and political collapse. Once it was Chechnya, today it is the republic of Dagestan on the Caspian Sea that is the most explosive place in Russia - and in Europe. There are bomb attacks almost daily, shootouts between police and militants, tales of torture and of people going missing. An escape from the bleak reality comes in the form of a collective national obsession with wrestling, martial arts and masculine strength that goes way beyond the sphere of sports.
