Inspired by the short documentary by Stanley Kubrick (1951) who followed the Irish boxer Walter Cartier from dawn to dusk on a fateful day, Jack Huston, making his debut behind the cameracreates an ad hoc via crucis for his anti-hero.

Michael Pitt and Ron Perlman in the film “Meeting Day”
From station to station, he reviews all the people who matter in his life, his ex-wife, his daughter (contemplated from afar), his best friend, his coach, his father (Joe Pesci, the gem of the film). A tribute to all classic boxing cinema.
