West Side Story

Forbidden love and gang rivalry come together in this classic adaptation of the 1957 musical West Side Story, set against the backdrop of two teenage street gangs from different ethnic backgrounds.

In the gritty Upper West Side of Manhattan in 1957, two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, clash over territory amidst the threat of demolition. The tensions escalate as the gangs prepare for a final showdown, but a romance blossoms between Tony, a former Jet brawler, and María, Bernardo's sister, adding a new layer of complexity to the conflict.
