Shy Kid keeps to himself at school, but when a new friend Jack enters the ring, Kid has to face his crush and calls upon his Marys into his corner: his tough Filipina mother Marie, his favorite wrestler Maria, and the Virgin Mary. A coming-of-age story with the electricity of a wrestling show, the comfort of a Filipino home, and the sparks of first love, HAIL MARY/MARIA is a heartfelt adventure of finding and loving who you are.
