“Hoselupf” is a documentary about the number one national sport in Switzerland: Swiss wrestling. Beat Schlatter, one of Switzerland’s best known comedians, travels through the country in search for the heart and soul of this fascinating sport. He takes a closer look at a world that is completely foreign to him, attempting to bridge the gap that divides urban and rural Switzerland. On his journey – that brings him as far as Tokyo Schlatter immerses himself in the rich history of Swiss wrestling. He trains during an entire season to become a wrestler himself and fights against a junior wrestler at the national championship.
