KI (Leszek David, Polonia 2011, 99 min., v.o.s.e.)

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.
Ki es la madre de Pio, un chico de dos años. Enérgica y codiciosa, no quiere aceptar las limitaciones que le ofrece el papel tradicional de ser madre. Quiere una vida rápida e intensa, lejana de la imagen tradicional y estereotipada de una mujer cansada, atormentada y dedicada al niño. Sus relaciones con los hombres hasta ahora no han funcionado. Sin embargo, un día la vida le pone en su camino a Miko, un hombre que pertenece a un mundo completamente distinto al de Ki.
