Krazy-E

Un ejercicio de realismo bruselense sin concesiones: la historia de amor imposible entre dos jóvenes que pertenecen a bandas urbanas rivales. Mavela, 15 años, origen africano, es una “Black Bronx” del barrio de Matonge; y Marwan, un magrebí “1080” del distrito de Molenbeek Saint-Jean. Cuando ambos se enamoran —en comisaría— hasta el extremo de emprender una relación clandestina, la lealtad hacia el clan pandillero les plantea un serio conflicto, no sólo íntimo. Porque ser miembro de una banda implica serlo para siempre, y abandonarla resulta inviable. Retrato naturalista y romántico a un tiem po del crudo “mundo aparte” de los gangs metro politanos, la película presenta a Bruselas como otro efervescente personaje más, especialmente su colorista down town.
