''Subdued, low-key and unassuming, this Japanese film about a young deaf woman who becomes a professional boxer firmly eschews the traditional sports movie tropes. Thanks to Kishii’s luminous performance, Keiko comes across as a very self-sufficient but lonely figure, completely deaf since birth, who finds in fighting some kind of release and sensory thrill.''

Keiko is a young woman with a hearing impairment and only one dream: to become a professional boxer. Despite the great challenge, she spends every free minute in the ring, where she holds her own thanks to her dedicated coach. But when her trusty boxing club threatens to close due to the pandemic and her coach's ailing health, fear takes hold of Keiko.
