In 1989, Rody ruled the wrestling ring as Max Buwaya—a fierce heel who captivated the Pinoy wrestling scene. Decades later, he drifts through obscurity, his daily ritual of donning the mask offering fleeting comfort against a world quietly closing in. Wrestling with a fading sense of purpose, he prepares for a triumphant return: a final match that could earn him the belt he’s longed for his entire life. But as past and present blur, questions arise—about who he is, and what’s real.
