Abstract At a boxing match, a teenage boxer with Down syndrome is coming up next in the ring. While his trainer forcefully motivates him to fight, his sister wants to hold him back. Yet the decision is all his.

Details The short film starts with a boxing match. Coming up next in the ring, there is a teenage boxer with Down syndrome. Backstage, another teenager, his brother or friend, is facing his hands, while in the background, his trainer is discussing with his sister, Chrissie, who does not want him to fight. He wants him to get in the ring, convinced that he is ready for it, and reproaches her for holding him back. He motivates and preps him, and when he asks why he wants to fight, he answers that he is a fighter and he wants to win. He is told that he is going to fight a boxer who is bigger than him, so he finds himself torn between his dream of winning and proving everyone wrong or giving in to the fear of getting hurt. Even the boxing committee, pressured by Chrissie, is not sure about letting him fight. The fighter starts approaching the ring. While Chrissy and the trainer are still discussing, a decision needs to be made. It is his friend who looks him in the eye and lets him know that the decision is his. The short movie ends with an open ending, right when the fighter is picturing the game in his head and making up his mind.
