NI review:
Alejandro, or Ale (Al-ay) as he’s known, is a 12 year old, living with his teenage sister above a car-repair workshop. Ale’s life touting, selling, and sometimes thieving, the junkyards and ramshackle parts and repair businesses all around, the lack of streetlights and sidewalks, the flooding when it rains, suggest a setting in the Global South. But this is New York as few will have ever seen it, in the Iron Triangle area of Queens, close by the Shea Stadium and US National Tennis Centre.
