Story
A French student Jacques (Olivier Gruner) comes to Los Angeles (that is, “City of the Angel” - hence the name of the film) to study for exchange. Due to his lack of money, he rents a room in the house of a single mother living with her son Martin in a Latin American ghetto. Jacques quickly makes friends with them and neighbors, but also discovers that the local gang of “Latinos” has long been causing problems to Martin’s family, calling him into the gang, or simply stalking and beating for trying to live honestly, helping the family . At first, Jacques does not pay attention to this, but realizing that Martin is not able to resist the bandits, he begins to help him deal with them, applying his kickboxing knowledge and bringing Martin to martial arts classes to his old friend. The apotheosis of these “showdowns” is the rape by bandits of Martin’s mother, after which she ends up in the hospital. Martin finds out that the bandits will not stop there and are going to burn his house. He gets up on his porch with a loaded double-barreled shotgun, keeping bandits out of the house, later his neighbor joins him, a Vietnam veteran in a wheelchair and with an old assault rifle. When it becomes clear that the forces are unequal, and the bandits begin to throw dynamite drafts at the house, Jacques and his friend, a kickboxing coach, appear. With the support of Martin’s armed neighbor, the three of them beat the bandits, after which Martin kills their leader in a duel.
