After a bank robbery, many gang members die and the boss goes to jail for 28 years. After his release, the remaining gang members want their share. In 2025, the Kostka gang, a group of children between the ages of 5 and 15, terrorizes, robs and kills anyone who gets in their way. A failed attempt to rob the central bank lands the gang boss in prison for 28 years. When he is released in 2053, the big question is: Where is the loot? A wild chase, through the slums of Manila, stained black by charcoal production, begins. "ALIPATO might a bit difficult to watch, particularly for those not used with Khavn’s style, but is definitely a masterpiece, a very entertaining spectacle on all aspects." (Asian Movie Pulse)
