Tekno Guerrilla

by Fran Ilich

Bruno es un joven que vive en Tijuana. Allí, va sintiéndose seducido por anónimos creadores de graffiti que utilizan las paredes de la ciudad para criticar un sistema que no les satisface. A partir de ese momento, Bruno deseará romper con el pasado y construir un futuro para todos aquellos que están alienados por el sistema. Pero la vida no es sencilla en Tijuana y Bruno lo experimentará con crudeza en su propia piel.
