 Rating:  - Its a Doccumentary About a Boxer NOT a Eros OriginalPerhaps one should never review a movie one knows anything about but I think the other reviewers may have gotten it a bit off when they mentioned erroticism.

In compensation, he has taken under his wing a group of young boys to teach them his art, and philosophy of life. He coaches them, runs them, and is in their corner for their bouts. He comforts them as they take their first punches, which really do hurt.
