Description

La Lucha de Lucía (Lucia’s Fight) follows Lucía “La Guerrera”, a 16-year-old Mexican lucha libre wrestler, as she struggles to find herself in the wrestling world that she grew up in. Her Father, “El Patron Enmascarado”, who has trained her from a young age, believes that she must maintain the tactics of a ruda (a wrestler who plays dirty to win) in order to have a successful wrestling career. A persona that has laid the foundation of their family’s legacy for generations and been the key to their success. Lucía is determined to challenge her family’s ways. She is left to decide if she will trust her own intuition and put up a real fight or play by the unspoken rules of the game, surrendering to the strategy that has been forced upon her.
