Cassandro
Saúl is a homosexual amateur wrestler from El Paso, Texas, who crosses the border to Ray’s Auto Garage which has been converted for lucha libre matches on some evenings. Ever since he was a little boy, he dreamt of being a luchador. Wanting fame & recognition, he seeks out trainer Sabrina for advice to improve his game. She suggests that he becomes a expósito, a female impersonator wrestler. He becomes that novelty act that starts to draw in crowds & bring him more money. Being a mama’s boy with an estranged father, he wants to earn enough money to afford a new house for himself & his mama. Then, tragedy strikes he struggles with his life being openly gay. Finally, he gets a match against his long-time idol, the Son of Santos.
