Synopsis:

Inspired by the courage and fierceness he associates with fighting cocks, a young man rebels against an adult world tainted by his father's flawed vision of manhood. Animated by a highly theatrical rendition of the ancient bloodsport of cockfighting, this drama moves through the turbulent landscape of adolescence and traces the steps by which a boy becomes a man, not on his father's terms, but on his own
