Las Luchas Morenas is the name of a group made up of three Mexican sisters who compete in the rather masculine sport of wrestling. The violent camera movements that attempt to capture the essence of a national competition have an impact on the final result, which is a tribute to the sport, to the childlike spirit hidden in adults, and to Mexico itself. More than anything, however, it is a tribute to the three protagonists, the Moreno sisters.
