Irma

Irma is an intimate musical portrait of Irma Gonzalez, the former world champion of women’s professional wrestling, filmed in Ciudad Nezahualc ó Yotl - a famous neighborhood of Mexico City - Irma contradicts everything we expect from the stories reported from Mexico. Irma’s story flows with love, deceit, masculine strength, feminine charms and an extraordinary sense of humour.
