In the Albanian port city of Durrës, Arion, a former inmate, is released from prison to fight in illegal bare-knuckle bouts at the notorious venue «The Circle» on behalf of Ilir, who is heavily in debt. Club owner Hans is initially skeptical of Arion. However, as Arion attracts more and more attention, Hans recognizes his commercial potential as well. What begins as a way out of poverty turns into a risky game when Ilir becomes involved in an illegal betting ring.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gritty, claustrophobic descent into Albania's underground fighting circuit where a desperate man's search for escape becomes a trap. Watching Arion navigate exploitation and escalating violence feels like witnessing a system designed to consume those who have nothing.
