Rana
""RAÑA" spirals outward from the blood, sweat, and heat of the boxing ring where Eugenio Rafael Raña takes on any opponent in Villa Ocho. In every match, he is again a soldier in the Falklands (Malvinas) War, battling alongside his Argentinian countrymen and hell-bent on victory. Inside the ring, he envisions himself a heavyweight phenom punishing his British foes with haymakers. Outside the ring, Raña spends his days in the hinterlands of Argentina, drinking and looking for his next fight. Rewinding, pausing, fast-forwarding-he replays VHS tapes of professional boxing matches, as he does his memories of the war, searching for a win. "RAÑA" is a phantasmagoria of modern war, brutal defeat, and a lifelong anguish that endures"-- Provided by publisher.
