The Wrestler from Darren Aronofksy will open Thessaloniki Fest

Back in the eighties, Randy "The Ram" Robinson was at the top of his game, but twenty five years later he finds himself trapped by the only thing he knows how to do: fight other men for money. Randy and his fellow fighters form a ragged brotherhood, propped up by a routine of gym workouts, steroids, tanning beds and choreographed mayhem in the ring. But Randy is already working the hard edge of this underground circuit; faced with one opponent who plays to the crowd's bloodlust, he goes to the wall. Outside the ring, all he has to show for his life is a painful relationship with his estranged daughter Stephanie and a tentative romance with stripper Cassidy. These are scraps, but from them, Randy begins to rebuild his life.
