Gradually the slow motion shots reveal a young man in an impeccable suit, struggling with what is obviously not naturally his own aggressive behaviour. As already suggested by the title, the fighter has not entirely formulated his own ideas. The home represents 'the ring' where the fight takes place, but whenever he wants to concentrate on his opponent, the woman, he loses himself in a gentle reverie, distracted by romantic moments of tenderness and support for one another. What is it actually about? What are you fighting for and what are you fighting against? Where do you stand and how far will you go? It seems to be a struggle with which everyone can identify, because ultimately it is not about your opponent being yourself and the other just the stimulus without whom there is little to fight against.
