MASK de 41



Tadao is facing a new meaningless job in a downsizing industry; his second marriage is adrift and his children are mostly strangers. He makes a break from his workaday existence to go down market and put everything he's got behind his lifelong passion for pro-wrestling. But never having won a single match in his younger days, the odds, at age 41, are against him. Tadao's resolve holds firm and, as his reckless adventure comes to bring new meaning to the word "triumph," his family and friends move from astonishment to deep admiration.
