Jacob van Oppen, the former strongest man on earth, and his manager Orsini, a small and dapper businessman who calls himself "the Prince," travel around small South American towns organizing wrestling exhibitions in run-down theaters. Jacob van Oppen is an uncontrollable titan of impressive dimensions who can only be appeased by the soft soothing melody of "Lili Marleen." Once this oddball pair arrives at the village of Santa Maria, business really kicks off: the local newspaper sponsors the fight, helping hands placard posters announcing it, and a volunteer adversary must be found. Orsini knows how to find the right combatant, but fishing in Santa Maria could lead to a bigger catch than hoped for... And though the editor of the local newspaper seems to have sniffed out Orsini's secret, he might be on a false track... (Moscow International Film Festival)
