Synopsis Joseph manages a French Boxing Club where he trains his daughter and niece. Boxing is everything for this threesome. Their tempo of life is ordered to this rhythm... A rhythm that Theresa, Joseph’s wife, ends up detesting. The evening of the French Championships, the defeat of one of the two girls throws the survival of the club into peril and shatters the family’s equilibrium. Between Angie and Sandra, raised as if sisters, the bond is tested and a dangerous rivalry begins to fester, both inside the ring and out.
