Prince Orsini is a petty criminal whose talent is considerably exaggerated – by himself. He makes a living going from village to village with the over-the-hill wrestler Jacob van Oppen to trick people into challenging the former champion, rusty as he is after many rounds with the bottle rather than in the ring. So one day in the village of Santa Maria it looks like Orsini may be fooled himself when a strong young man that is obviously drunk enters the ring. A fresh and funny gem from Uruguay guaranteed to give you a laugh. red
