GAEA GIRLS

A film about courage, transformation and dreams. “I don’t stand out in a crowd,” says Takeuchi Saika, “I want to be someone.” She has been living in the Gaea Japan training camp for over a year and is desperate to pass her test and make her debut in the ring. The film follows her story. Gaea Girls takes us into the world of Japanese women’s wrestling. We’ll also meet new recruit Wakabayashi, who ran away last time but has now come back, begging for a second chance. And Sato, a spindly 16-year-old, who has wanted to join for three years and has only just managed to persuade her parents. And, of course, Nagayo Chigusa. Arrogant, charismatic and adored, she rules the girls and tries to fashion them in her own image.
