This is from an actual Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Film, RUST AND BONE:
Single father and would-be kickboxer Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) is working as a nightclub bouncer when he meets Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), who works at a marine park training killer whales. When Stephanie's legs are amputated after an accident, she draws closer to Ali, but the young man's wandering eye and financial straits threaten to keep these soulmates apart.
Ah, the old would-be kickboxer meets killer whale trainer...I can see how they'd be soulmates!
