Description

This short film is streaming with Bile.      

Not just for pumping iron, the gym Kachalka is a place to see and be seen, where those working out are just as eclectic as the 200-plus machines fashioned from cast-off Soviet-era machinery. This living relic is thoroughly modern in its repurposing of 100 tons of iron. Eileen Arandiga
