Synopsis

Isabelle is a thirty-three year old female boxer from the south shore of Montreal.
As an athlete, she inevitably relies on her body. The body is like a mechanical engine.
Her gym, a cold building made of steel and concrete, is located in the industrial area of an anonymous and typical suburban town.
Her body, made of flesh and muscles, is continually pushed to its limits.
