TEKKONKINKREET

Director: MICHAEL ARIAS

JAPAN • COLOUR • 100 MIN


IN TREASURE TOWN, ORPHANS BLACK AND WHITE RULE THE MEAN STREETS THROUGH VIOLENCE AND TERROR. THESE LOST BOYS ARE DIRECT OPPOSITES: BLACK IS A STREETWISE PUNK WHO EMBODIES EVERYTHING WRONG ABOUT THE CITY, WHILE WHITE IS AN INNOCENT DOPE, OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE WORLD AROUND HIM.
Together, they’re unstoppable as they take on petty thugs, religious fanatics and brutal yakuza. But when a corporation called Kiddy Kastle tries to tear down and rebuild Treasure Town to fit its own goals, the boys must save the soul of their beloved city, that is if they can save themselves from their inner demons. ‘Tekkonkinkreet’ is based on Taiyo Matsumoto’s serialised manga Black and White.
