Vale - the last match

Vale is on the verge of the last match of her career as a professional boxer. Since she was a child she has always been very pugnacious, up to when she had to fight for the right to assisted suicide for her life long partner Fabiano, who became blind and quadruplegic after an accident. Now, as she fights on the ring, her words tell us the unpredictable shock of two lives, the sacrifice during years of therapy and the downslope to the end. As movements get heavier, we discover the anger that still pervades her because of the other life she lost: her father’s suicide, almost simultaneous yet opposed to that of Fabiano. Vale is now exhausted. While she flings her last punches, she is infact fighting two opposite fights: settling her lifelong conflict with her baffling father while taking care of the last moments with her lover. As time freezes she desperately tries to reach for some inner resource to cope with this all, while she realizes that her last fight has always been against Death.
