Description
For this character-driven short film, we're looking for an actress who can convey both vulnerability and explosive power. Her acting age is approximately 21. Height: approximately 169 to 175 cm.

Profile Maria
Maria is seen by those around her as gentle, kind, and sometimes even naive. But as soon as she steps into the ring, everything changes: she becomes ruthless, aggressive, and almost possessed. This transformation is essential for the role. She grew up with high expectations from her parents and has had a close, but now toxic, relationship with her coach since childhood. What began as guidance has slowly morphed into manipulation and violence. Maria is caught between loyalty, ambition, and fear.

ACTING STYLE & CHEMISTRY
The film relies heavily on acting and underlying tension. We're looking for someone who:
• Feels comfortable in physical scenes (boxing, training, intensity – no explicit scenes).
• Build strong chemistry with the coach's actor, making their long history tangible.
• Can subtly switch between soft, introverted Maria and her raw, aggressive persona in the ring.
• Experience with boxing/martial arts is a plus, but not required; willingness to train is. A fit appearance is highly desirable. It should feel as if Maria and the coach have been training together for years. The more familiar their dynamic appears, the stronger the emotional impact of the story.
