A left-handed kid plays marbles so hard he might save his entire town from poverty. Peak cinema.
Futuristic movie about Alejandro, a gifted left-handed child marble player who must win a competition as the entire town's hopes - and money - rest on him.
Direction
Salcés treats marble games like gladiator combat. Unhinged and perfect.
Production
Fantasy-tinged Mexican poverty settings that somehow feel hopeful.
