In 1931, a Tunisian Jewish boxer becomes the youngest flyweight world champion. At 20, he has his whole life ahead of him. Alas, he is deported to Auschwitz during the Second World War. Discovered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, a moving sports story is brought to life by the champion Brahim Asloum in the title role.
