Iraklis (Hercules) Leontopoulos is a low-paid employee with a heart of gold, who inherits a building together with its tenants. His easy disposition is his biggest problem because he can not collect any rents. In addition, he can not make any evictions nor can he demand any increase in the rents. Everything is about to change when his lawyer Aleka Palli makes him play the tough guy in order to collect the unpaid rents. The consequences of this transformation will be hilarious.

This fascinating documentary is based around the Japanese wrestling organisation Gaea's rural training camp, and traces, in the main, the careers of four hopefuls. In charge are two magnificent specimens, the butch champion Chigusa Nagaya, still venting her hurt at the hands of her army father as she tries to whip her surrogate daughters through the pain and commitment barriers; and her sophisticated and slightly menacing Chairman. It's a gruelling, physical film, as you would expect, but the makers don't make heavy weather of it. And it certainly disposes of any idea that the game is faked.
