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.
camera, sound and editing: Charles Fairbanks
music by: Irma Gonzalez
