'Cassandro' Trailer

Amazon Prime Video has released the first trailer for ‘Cassandro,’ starring Gael García Bernal as Saúl Armendáriz/Cassandro. In the 1980s, gay wrestler Saúl Armendáriz, based in Texas, becomes Cassandro after his trainer suggests he adopt an exótico persona, leading to increased success in Mexican lucha libre matches. The film will premiere on Prime Video on September 22, 2023. Watch the trailer below.

What is the Plot of Cassandro?

In the lucha libre wrestling, scene of Juárez, Mexico, gay luchador Saúl is tired of playing El Topo, a nondescript, masked runt who always loses his matches. He wants to be a star. His fierce new trainer, Sabrina, suggests he develop an exótico character — an unmasked, stereotypically effeminate role audiences love to hate. But exóticos never get to win. All that changes when Saúl debuts the flamboyant and powerful Cassandro, who captures the crowd’s attention and affection. But how will Cassandro’s ascent affect Saúl’s relationship with his mother — still pining away for his unavailable father — and with Gerardo, Saúl’s secret lover?
