Between working as a nurse and taking care of her uncle, a poet living with memory loss, Nadege lives a dull life and lacks the confidence to get what she wants from life.
She then discovers a new passion that awakens a hidden side of her...the world of wrestling. WANTED: STRONG WOMAN is a fun, beautiful, and emotional short film that is bristling with poetry, wrestling, and feminine strength.
