CROSSROADS MASAYA -
Three volcanic stories
Three unrelated characters, with different pasts and presents, intersect at the same moment that the country erupts.
They quickly become witnesses to the day the dictator resigns in distant Nicaragua, 1979. An animated film, using a realistic and figurative drawing technique, within the framework of 2D production. On the technical side, it is inspired by the work The Tell Tale Heart (UPA, 1953).
