When second-string cyclist Pepe learns some unfortunate secrets mid-race, he must rise to the occasion or face life as a loser.

It's been a nonstop swelter in Andalusia this summer--even before the hot-blooded cyclists of this year's La Vuelta came zooming in! Competing as a second-string racer for a third-rate sponsor, Andalusian native Pepe Benengeli isn't exactly the favorite to win. Well, that is unless you're talking to the folks at his brother's wedding reception! But when a series of mid-race revelations leave him at a crossroads, Pepe explodes in an all-out attack toward the finish line!
The first anime to ever compete in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, Nasu is the feature film debut of famed Ghibli animator Kitaro Kosaka (Spirited Away, The Wind Rises). It will leave you gasping for air!
