Wrestling Grounds (L’Appel des Arènes)

Two young Dakar men, Nalla and Sory have nothing in common except their love of wrestling. Following different career paths, Nalla is serious and ambitious, so too about his wrestling – despite resistance from his well-to-do family. Sory, on the other hand, is spiralling downward in a life of petty crime and gambling. Their stories intersect in a nuanced look on the Senegalese capital and the world of wrestling. Cheikh A. N’Diaye studied film montage and direction in Paris. Wrestling grounds is his first feature film. He has several documentaries to his name (among which Myaé, 1994) and one short (Mousso, 1996).
