Documentary
Ring of Dreams
In a world where fantasy meets reality, Tengkwa leads a band of Dutch wrestlers and tries to train a new generation. But with slim chances of fame and glory and little money to speak off, only the most die-hard of them will succeed.
"It's comedy, it’s drama, but more than that it is our whole society with al it’s idiosyncrasies, in one ring.
We gladly let ourselves be bamboozled by this charming documentary."
- Alexander Zwart - Filmkrant -
"Astounding glimpse into the violent and heroic world of show-wrestling.
Even those who are not interested in the subject won’t be able to keep their eyes off the screen."
- Jury-rapport - Circle of Dutch Film Critics -
"Documentary about show-wrestling hits hard and is at moments even endearing."
- Kevin Toma - Volkskrant -
