Based on the true story of a wrestling-mad family and their dream of making it to the big leagues, this comedy drama has Saraya (Florence Pugh), her brother Zak (Jack Lowden) and their parents Patrick (Nick Frost) and Julia (Lena Headey) eke out a living organising and taking part in wrestling matches from their base in Norwich, England.
