Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.

Holly Golightly es una bella joven neoyorquina que, aparentemente, lleva una vida fácil y alegre. Tiene un comportamiento bastante extravagante, por ejemplo, desayunar contemplando el escaparate de la lujosa joyería Tiffanys. Un día se muda a su mismo edificio Paul Varjak, un escritor que, mientras espera un éxito que nunca llega, vive a costa de una mujer madura. (FILMAFFINITY)
