Synopsis: Bim bam boom, meet the Moreno sisters! Three tough women in their forties, who have more in common than their family origins. Under the name 'Las Luchas Morenas', they practice the Mexican national sport: wrestling! A sport that is more theatre, and which has here almost become a kind of surreal musical with the three strong matrons in the all-important lead role. Marie Losier's characteristic whirring 16mm camera swirls curiously around them and captures it all in a cheerful and musical tribute to fantasy, to the child in all adults, and to Mexican culture, which cultivates all things grotesque and taboo-breaking. Costumes and makeup worthy of a Russ Meyer film are used together with props such as a severed pig's head in a baroque film where everything is possible. But it is ultimately a tribute to the three women, who in spite of all their differences have chosen to lead their lives according to their own ideas.
