NACHO LIBRE
SYNOPSIS
Nacho (Jack Black) is a man without skills. After
growing up in a Mexican monastery, he is now a
grown man and the monastery's cook, but doesn't
seem to fit in. Nacho cares deeply for the orphans
he feeds, but his food is terrible ? mostly, if you ask
him, a result of his terrible ingredients. He realizes
he must hatch a plan to make money to buy better
food for "the young orphans, who have nothing"
(and if in doing so Nacho can impress the lovely
Sister Encarnaci, that would be a big plus).
When Nacho is struck by the idea to earn money as
a Lucha Libre wrestler, he finds that he has a
natural, raw talent for wrestling. As he teams with
his rail-thin, unconventional partner, Esqueleto (the
Skeleton), Nacho feels for the first time in his life
that he has something to fight for and a place
where he belongs.
As Lucha is strictly forbidden by the church elders
at the monastery, Nacho is forced to lead a double
life. Disguised by a sky blue mask, Nacho conceals
his true identity as he takes on Mexico's most
famous wrestlers and takes on a hilarious quest to
make life a little sweeter at the orphanage.
