Trade, The

描述

Far beneath the theatrics of mainstream pro-wrestling lies an unspeakably dangerous sub-culture where barbed wire, fluorescent light tubes and even fire are incorporated in performances. In the early 2000s, "Sick" Nick Mondo was rapidly ascending the ultra-violent ladder of the death-match wrestling world. Then suddenly, he abandoned all he had worked for and disappeared. A decade later, Nick returned to the ring to confront a younger wrestler who had vowed to carry on the Mondo legacy. With scenes filmed in the streets of Tokyo on Halloween, inside rings filled with broken glass and even deep within a Japanese ghost town, The Trade is a wild journey that fluctuates between dream and nightmare.
