On the Ropes

Amine, a solitary teenager, reluctantly spends time at the local boxing gym. To escape these painful hours, he fixates on Rayan, a young boxer who stirs unfamiliar desires in him. At night, after school, Amine uses photos of his cousin Sihem to become “Amina” and secretly chat with Rayan on social media.
