This is the story of Luca Torelli, a poor immigrant from Italy who came to

New York to find a better life. Instead of a land of milk and honey he found

a filthy city that was long on corruption and short on morality, a place

filled with predators and human vermin. To survive in such a place,

young Luca adapted to his surroundings, lived off his wits, prospered

with coldhearted cunning… until he eventually became

Enrique Sánchez Abulí and Jordi Bernet’s masterpiece is a darkly

humorous exploration of the criminal underbelly in 1930s New York

City. Abuli's distinctive narrative builds the story over time and

Bernet's masterful renditions of the title character and the city

he inhabits are stunningly cinematic.
