Between big show and big pain: The docu-series "BASTARDS." follows the German-Iranian duo "Pretty Bastards" on their way through the German wrestling scene in two seasons. In addition to sporting challenges, the focus is on the personal stories of "Maggot" and "Prince Ahura" away from the ring. Money shortages, serious injuries or the Corona crisis - not only their careers, but also the friendship of the two young athletes from Frankfurt is always on the line. Despite tough competition, the charismatic "bastard sons of wrestling" do not go it alone. So the series also tells the story of the young athlete "Baby Allison," a friend, who is one of the rising stars in German women's wrestling, fighting for titles and, above all, acceptance in an industry dominated by men.
