Schönes Prügeln - Wrestling in Weinheim (2015)

Escaping everyday life and taking on a new identity: Three very different people talk about how wrestling means pure freedom for them. Not much happens in Weinheim, a small town in Baden-Württemberg. Life takes place in the countryside and is idyllic. But there is one special feature: Weinheim is home to the oldest wrestling club in Germany. For 15 years now, the members of the ACW have been fighting their way through the ring according to the American model, immersing themselves in a different world: including 18-year-old Nadine, who looks like a delicate inconspicuous girl from the outside, but becomes a fighter in the ring.
