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.

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.
