When Saúl Armendáriz (Gael García Bernal) starts competing in the macho world of Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling, he's always cast as the runt. After he meets Sabrina (Roberta Colindrez), Saúl gains not only a professional trainer but also a friend who helps him create a new character in the ring.

Together, they debut ‘Cassandro,’ a radical subversion of Lucha Libre's stereotypical role known as the Exótico. Flamboyant and powerful, Cassandro turns lucha on its head.

But Cassandro also upends Saúl's own life, throwing into tumult his relationships with his mother Yocasta, his secret lover Gerardo, and his absent father Eduardo.

Also featuring Bad Bunny, CASSANDRO is the debut feature film from Academy Award–winning documentary filmmaker Roger Ross Williams (GOD LOVE UGANDA, LIFE, ANIMATED).
