IN ANY GOOD RACE, IT ALWAYS
COMES DOWN TO THE LAST LEG!
It’s been a nonstop swelter in Andalusia this summer—even before the hot-blooded cyclists of this year’s La Vuelta came zooming in! Competing as a second-string racer for a third-rate sponsor, Andalusian native Pepe Benengeli isn’t exactly the favorite to win. Well, that is unless you’re talking to the folks at his brother’s wedding reception! But when a series of mid-race revelations leave him at a crossroads, Pepe explodes in an all-out attack toward the finish line!
From MADHOUSE and famed animation director Kitaro Kosaka (Spirited Away, The Wind Rises, Director of Okko’s Inn), comes the first anime feature film to ever compete in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival!
A beloved film about the beauty of family and sport
"It certainly deserves to be brought to a wider audience than those lucky few who caught it in Cannes... Its director Kitaro Kosaka is clearly one of the more promising young talents working in mainstream Japanese animation today."
-Tom Mes, MidnightEye
​
"Five stars! it moved me, challenged me, energized me, fascinated me, and excited me. I haven't felt compelled to write a review like this in a long time... packs more emotion, ambiguity, and beauty in forty-five minutes than most series can do in thirteen episodes."
-Bradley Meek, T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews
