Abstract:
The Wrestler from Montreal is a pulsing theatre where the agents of heaven and hell make its stage their unforgiving battlefield. This is the story of a heritage delivered by a mother to her two very young sons in the last hours of her life. It is a heritage which man could not modify, time could not temper, and the expanse of oceans could not distance from their lives. A saga that begins at the turn of the century in Eastern Europe, it moves at breakneck speed, touching extremes in human virtues and vices. Yet alongside the most impossible cruelties, it could look at the world through a comic’s eyes.
