Plot summary

"Our film revolves around a female boxer who has overcome an unfortunate past. The boxer was raised by her mother, as her father had passed away in her early years; her mothers years of mourning had turned her into a bitter, abusive parent. Upon discovering the realm of professional boxing, the girl became enthralled and would one day have her debut fight; that day is the present in which the film is set. On the day of her televised match, her mother contacts her in the first time in years under the guise of a caring, guilty mother who would do anything to clear to her conscience, the mother tries persistently to become a pat of her daughters life, only to exploit the luxuries of her success. The daughter is shocked at seeing her mothers phone number on her phone screen on the day of her match - and memories of their past plague her. She is faced with making the decision of turning her mother away: shutting her out once again; or to accept her, along with her abusive nature - which would be extremely detrimental to her and the world she has spent her years building."

BBFC Ratings

15 – Suitable only for 15 years and over
No one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema. No one younger than 15 may rent or buy a 15 rated video work.
 

Discrimination

The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour, although there may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory themes and language.
 

Drugs

Drug taking may be shown but the work as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse (for example, through instructional detail). The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.


Imitable behaviour

Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Whether the depiction of easily accessible weapons is acceptable will depend on factors such as realism, context and setting.
 

Language

There may be strong language. Very strong language may be permitted, depending on the manner in which it is used, who is using the language, its frequency within the work as a whole and any special contextual justification.


Nudity

There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context. There may be nudity in a sexual context but usually without strong detail.
 

Sex

Sexual activity may be portrayed, but usually without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.

Threat

There may be strong threat and horror. A sustained focus on sadistic or sexual threat is unlikely to be acceptable.

Violence

Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but the depiction of sexual violence must be discreet and justified by context.
