In this elaborate stop-motion animated film, Ben Bruhmuller deftly evokes the sweep of a man’s life through the rounds of a boxing match. Through a striking layering process complemented by exquisitely sculpted figures, family and personal moments are pulled into focus then disappear as the boxer advances from a young man to a lonely elder.
