- Synopsis
- What anxieties, obsessions, abuse, disorders and imbalances are hiding behind a perfect body?
  To what lengths of sacrifice, effort, fixing and pain will a man go to to physically resemble his film or sports idols?There are regular accounts in the sports media and general news about mysterious deaths of young athletes at the peak of their skills and career. A grave fact unknown to most of society is hidden behind these tragedies: there exists an underworld of trafficking in illegal substances, uncontrolled consumption of these and an unhealthy obsession to achieve a larger and muscular body.
