Story

Erasmo Chambi is a Bolivian immigrant who survives on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, giving wrestling shows at local clubs. In his home country, he was a legendary wrestler: there were trading cards, posters and action figures of his character, El Ciclón (The Cyclone), which today are only relics in a forgotten drawer. Nowadays he trains his son to be his successor.
