Ercan wants to proof it to himself. After a 10 year absence from competitive bodybuilding he reaches for the heavy weight title once again. The documentary PUMPING ERCAN accompanies the 40-year-old over the course of one year during his preparations and extends far beyond bodybuilding to tell a Turkish-German life's story. The portrait of this mellow giant is not only an enthralling comeback story but also turns out to be a love story at the end.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
