Crumbs

Miguel Llansó

Ethiopia, 2015 - 68'

A dystopian and post-apocalyptic sci-fi road movie shot in Kenya with excellent pop irony and a charismatic protagonist. Need to know anything else? A midnight session hit.

Plot

In a dazzlingly imaginative vision of a postapocalyptic Ethiopia, a hapless scavenger finds himself launched on a surreal adventure involving a mysterious UFO, witches, Santa Claus, Nazi knights, and more. Conjuring a loop-the-loop universe from the detritus of late-twentieth-century pop culture (from Michael Jordan to Ninja Turtles), this psychedelic fantasia surprises and charms as it spins off its own giddy axis.
