In the years between WWI and the rise of Fascism, legendary thespian Eleonora Duse shocks everyone by getting back onstage at over 60 years of age. Struggling with the brutality of historical events unfolding and clinging to the possibility of utopia, she makes her art a revolutionary act, even at the cost of sacrificing health and affection—facing her final journey aware she could give up life itself, but not her own true nature.

Negro is a dark film that portrays the light of its protagonist, Ortega, a meatpacking worker who finds in boxing the means to rebel against his boss's subservience. Ortega faces his last fight, the most important one, the one of honor, the one of life.
