]]>HOME RUN - New cinema from Austria]]>

Jaob Weingartner’s first feature-length documentary film accompanies juvenile Argentinian boxers from the forgotten suburbs of Buenos Aires on their way to their debut fights. These fights will determine whether they can at least hope that one day they will “be somebody”. While successfully avoiding all Rocky clichés, the film conveys how young people fight against the social darwinism that flourishes in an economic crisis in a subterranean boxing hall situated unter the railroad tracks at the Constitución station in Buenos Aires.
