I love this kind of stop motion animation and here you can even see what looks like the Elastoplast used to help keep the creatures in shape as it's rather melancholic narrative unfolds. An adult son is printing off his boarding pass and packing for a trip that his father clearly wishes he wasn't taking. After lunch, they go for some shooting only to discover a dead fox that has been poisoned. Where is their dog? A quick search portents the worst unless the younger "Alex" can race back home to find some sort of emetic. It's it's sense of isolation that is striking here. The beauty of their rustic surroundings augments the sense of anticipatory loneliness the older gent "Pedro" is expecting once his source of human companionship has taken his own next step. The humanity here, the dependence on the family pet and the charm of the thing prove quite potent to watch and for a film that can't have had much of a budget, it is quite an affecting little watch.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
