At an underground MMA club in central Oslo, we meet a group of young people, each struggling with personal challenges that constantly test their love for the sport. Fighter follows Sara, who dreams of becoming a professional MMA athlete. She also dreams of Andrea. And even though their feelings are mutual, their relationship must remain a secret. Her father, whom she looks up to, expects Sara to one day take over the family-owned halal butcher shops and sees martial arts as nothing more than a hobby. The film explores multiple themes. It is about family love and loyalty, but it is also a journey into the unknown—one filled with desperation, sorrow, betrayal, and the hope of new beginnings.
