Nasu: Andalusia no Natsu

Every year, cyclists take to the streets of Spain for La Vuelta, a multi-stage race with legs occurring all over the country. On the day of his brother's wedding, Pepe Benengeli is set to compete in a part of the competition that passes through his hometown in the scorchingly hot region of Andalusia. With intense pressure from the other competitors and the blazing heat of the sun, Pepe must dig deep if he is going to snag victory on his home turf.

Nasu: Andalusia no Natsu became the first Japanese animated film to be selected for the Cannes Film Festival in 2003.
