HASTEN DOWN THE WIND

Boxer in Los Angeles in the 1970s struggles to make it and falls in love with a singer. A poetic depiction of his life, his hopes and dreams, memories of Viet Nam, his training in a downtown gym, amidst colorful characters, and fights at a local arena. When he meets a beautiful singer, his life takes a turn in a positive direction, after losing his job and an important bout. Should he continue his search to fulfill his hopes and dreams? The music he hears on the radio, the advice from his friends, visits to the beach, writing poetry, the romance with the singer, don't solve his problem. His answer lies within.
