Southpaw boxer Seán McComb embarks on his professional boxing career, dealing with challenges both inside and outside the ring.

Tá an dornálaí Feirsteach Seán McComb ag tabhairt faoi ghairm phroifisiúnta dornálaíochta. I rith blianta scannánaíochta leis féin, lena mhuintir agus lena chairde cléibh, airíonn muid éabhlóid a shaoil phearsanta agus a shaoil ghairmiúil agus mar a théann sé i ngleic le dúshláin, laistigh agus lasmuigh den fháinne.

Faigheann muid léargas ar a réim dhian traenála i nGlaschú lena chomhdhornálaithe Tyrone McKenna, Tyrone McCullough agus Paddy Barnes.
Táimid lena thaobh agus é ar nós Pied Piper, ag siúl an achair ghearr óna theach in Iarthar Bhéal Feirste go dtí Páirc na bhFál, áit a bhfuil na mílte bailithe lena fháiltiú dá throid mhór ag Féile an Phobail 2019.
Agus feiceann muid, le linn na paindéime, mar a chuirtear stad tobann le gairm McComb - ach tá ré úr ina shaol pearsanta ar na bacáin!

Arna scannánú thar thréimhse trí bliana, leanann Ciotóg cora saoil an dornálaí, agus é ag fágáil slán le dornálaíocht amaitéarach lena rian a bhaint amach sa chluiche gairmiúil, mar fhíor-iomaitheoir teidil.

Belfast boxer Seán McComb is embarking on a professional boxing career, and over a period of years filming with him, his family and closest friends, we see how his career and personal life evolve, and how he deals with challenges he faces inside and outside the ring.

We gain insight into his intense training regime in Glasgow with fellow boxers Tyrone McKenna, Tyrone McCullough and Paddy Barnes. We are by his side as he walks, Pied Piper-like, from his nearby home in west Belfast to be greeted by thousands more at his big fight in 2019 in Falls Park, at Féile an Phobail. And we watch as, during the pandemic, McComb's career comes to a shuddering halt, but a new dawn appears in his personal life.

Filmed over three years, Ciotóg - translated as Southpaw - tracks the highs and lows of a boxer as he leaves the amateur world behind to make his mark in the professional game as a real title contender.
