    It deserves more awareness
    It's a really well done stop-motion animation happening in Galicia, a region of Spain.

    The puppets are great, dark and artistic. The whole scenes and landscapes reflects perfectly the region and the atmosphere of terror. It reminds me of some Tim Burton classics. It just should be a little longer with a prolonged end.

    If you're a fan of stop-motion animation, turned to adults, I strongly recommend seeing this one.
