Plot

T, as most of his friends, lives in a self-constructed 'house', built on top of an old building in the city. Their one passion is 'combat'.

Sinekatalog’s take

A street-dance and martial-arts romance staged on the rooftops of a city. The setting is striking, but the story is thin and stylised, appealing mainly to fans of eighties urban fantasy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
