The documentary tells the trajectory of boxers Reginaldo Holyfield and Luciano Todo Duro, who found boxing a way to escape from poverty and become two of the biggest idols of the Northeast of Brazil sport. The rivalry between them put on war the Brazilian states of Bahia and Pernambuco during the 90’s. For over 20 years the rivalry was so big they could not share the same space without attacking. They faced each other six times, with three wins apiece. During filming, the enemies, now aged more than 50, decided to face one last time.
