The monumental ‘San Juan Boxing Arena’ is once again the stage for an epic encounter, this time between “Choko” Tabarez and “Duvalin” Espadas. Everything seems to be ready to enjoy round after round of pugilist talent, when all of a sudden, an unexpected uppercut changes the outcome of the fight—and of the night.

The Thunder Feast

The delegate is the only legal authority in San Juan de la Vega. José loves detonating dangerous “thunder” with his gang. Saúl is a devotee of San Juanito and has been organizing the carnival for decades. All represent different—contrasting—stances of ancient tradition. But they will need to work together for the sake of the saint and the people’s safety.
