2023

Laureana lives in a Colombian village with no electricity. Her uncle is set to compete for a world boxing title. With the same passion and fearlessness as her uncle, the teenager defies conventions to enable the village to watch the fight on TV, harbouring the hope of becoming the next local celebrity. An assured debut and a captivating story of courage and tradition. 

Laureana, a young Colombian girl, leads her village of La Suprema in her dream of becoming a boxer. We were touched by the luminous simplicity and grace of this film, which is a beacon of hope. The difficult material conditions of this village community do not diminish its solidarity or its joy of existence. The film, set to a brilliant musical score, is a celebration of life.
