Tiger

Synopsis
Spanish with English subtitles

With Carlos Fernández, Manny Perez, Camila Santana

This Latin American Fight Club, inspired by true events, tackles the timely and relevant themes of masculinity and boys’ education. Tiger is one of the most highly anticipated films from the acclaimed director of the Dominican New Wave, José María Cabral.

Tiger is a raw, electrifying exploration of identity, tradition, and what it truly means to be a man. A group of male teenagers is sent to a Tigueraje boot camp to become tough, fearless, and dominant – this is what their parents expect them to become, Dominican “Tigers”. The camp’s head coach, Alberto, decides it is time for his son Pablo to join the group. What Alberto doesn’t know is that Pablo is already carving out his own version of a tiger—one that challenges everything his father stands for.

As their clashing ideas of masculinity collide, Pablo is thrust into a journey of self-discovery, one that will force him to question not just his father’s expectations, but his own. Amidst the struggle, it shines a light on hope and the possibility of redemption, for the adults, too.
