Translated by Sarah Ardizzone.
Mysterious loner and orphan Vango (Vango: Between Sky and Earth) continues his quest to discover his origins while pursuing the wicked international arms dealer Voloy Viktor. In the years between 1936 and 1944, the cast dashes about the United States, Europe, and Russia like pieces in a game of Risk. A cinematic, quickly paced, and clever page-turner, with an adventurous, romantic aura.
