A lighthearted, earnest comedy about an underdog monk-turned-wrestler fighting for his orphans and love, wrapped in colorful Mexican charm and physical humor.
Ignacio, a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery, can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there. Inspired by a local wrestling hero, he decides to moonlight as the not-so-famous Luchador "Nacho Libre" to earn money for the monastery -- not to mention the admiration of beautiful nun Sister Encarnación.
