IRMA
USA/Mexico 2010 13’

Directed by: Charles Fairbanks

Irma is an old «luchadora» (female wrestler) who bears the marks of a life spent battling in the ring, performing daredevil moves. Every day she goes to the gym to rehearse the moves that made her a star. Children watch her curiously. Somewhere in the distance, a song plays: Irma was once a singer, too. In her memory, grainy images of old television clips flicker.
