Description:

"Nacho Libre" humorously recounts the tale of Ignacio, a devout friar and unremarkable cook at a Mexican monastery, who harbors a secret ambition: to become a successful luchador - a masked wrestler. Taking inspiration from the real-life story of Rev. Sergio Gutierrez Benitez, known as Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm"), Ignacio embarks on an unexpected journey to achieve his dream while simultaneously providing for the orphanage he looks after. The film seamlessly blends heartfelt emotion and lighthearted humor as it portrays the challenges Ignacio faces in balancing his vocation with his passion for wrestling, ultimately highlighting the power of perseverance and resilience against all odds.
