An animation about a really short lovestory between a Luchadore and a Cholita. Cholitas are the female bolivian equilivant of Luchadores (the mexican wrestlers) and wrestle in their traditional clothing. The big Luchadore falls in love with the beautifull Cholita but pays the price for this moment of weakness. All is witnessed through the eyes of a young boy and girl, who at first are re-enacting their heroes, but in the end the boy is having serious doubts if the women are playing fair.
