En defensa de la Ciudad Tesoro

You're a streetwise kid scraping by in Treasure Town with your sworn brother. But a conglomerate arrives, intent on razing your home for profit. The city's old order starts to crumble. Arias's adaptation of Taiyo Matsumoto's manga blends hard-boiled action with youthful exuberance. The film lingers on the porous border between fantasy and reality.
