In New York, 48 hours is more than enough to plan and execute a beautiful revenge and ruin the reputation of a rival ‘gang’ in an epic fashion. Not the same scenario from Do the Right Thing, but it could be. After all, between Spike Lee’s Bed-Stuy and Adam Leon’s The Bronx, where Malcolm and Sofia come from, there are not many differences. They are just two grafitters who need $500 to execute a genius plan. Whether in the Bronx or in Manhattan, you can’t get this amount of money without some missteps, but it is all worth it to get into the Mets’ stadium and paint the big apple. So naive and natural, like its protagonists, this first work brings together an incredible subtext: a city stratified horizontally and vertically, growing from the clash between various layers. (M.
