Overview

After a year of drought, Nicolas prepares for "The Tiger's Fight", a prehispanic ritual where the village men fight to imitate thunder and foster the rain, hope of a good harvest. Inspired by one of the last surviving blood rituals in Mexico, "The Tiger's Fight" tells the story of Nicolas, a young man who wants to preserve the ritual, even when his love defies the traditions of his people.
