The Boxer

Mníšek pod Brdy is a picturesque small town near Prague. And everybody here fears Michal. He's a 14-year-old brat who describes himself as a psychopath. "I just need to punch someone to let off steam" he claims. On the other hand he is a brave and sensitive boy who lives in chains of his unorthodox family. He is being trained by a boxer master Jan Balog who aims to teach him how to control his anger and fight an honourable fight. Will Michal manage to fit in or will he end up in jail as everybody thinks?
