Plot – Constantly gloomy, Diana spends her days arguing with everyone, even without a reason. She cannot control her anger and does not want to. She has nothing to gain or lose and her philosophy is simple: you either give or you take and she prefers by far to be among the takers. She accidentally discovers the world of boxing in a gym in Brooklyn where her father wants her younger brother Tiny to learn to defend himself from bullies. Watching the boxers, she understands that maybe the ring is her place and she convinces one of the coaches, Hector, to train her in secret from her father.
