[PSICONAUTAS: LOS NIÑOS OLVIDADOS]
Dinki is a teenage mouse living on a post-apocalyptic island in a world of anthropomorphic creatures. Fed up with her life at home, she and a group of friends decide to escape the island for life in the fabled big city, but not without her beloved Birdboy, on the lam and nursing a bad drug habit. Cartoonist Alberto Vázquez adapts his graphic novel for the screen, alongside partner Pedro Rivero, to craft a dark and twisted animated feature debut. With two cute hand-drawn leads, who burst into sudden fits of menace and provoke onscreen acts of bloodlust, Vázquez manages to tackle themes of climate change, systemic racism and class warfare.
