Slumdog Millionaire meets Trainspotting. A shocking and magical feature film based on a best selling novel – with songs. “In the slums we meet the crippled pimp, the lonely housewife, the neighborhood gay, his macho father, the prostitutes, the smalltime politician, the Yankee pedophile. There are no happy endings and death awaits at every corner. Tragedy lies not at the end but is a given situation. It is not the usual ‘story that needs to be told’ it is simply a backyard full of lovable fuckers.” — Khavn De La Cruz
