Monero
Directed by Andrés Garay
Produced by Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica (CCC)
A visually inventive animated drama about artistic resistance and creative courage, blending magical realism with historical struggle during Mexico's 1968 political crisis.
A story based on true events and dedicated to the Mexican cartoonist RIUS. In 1968 Mexico City, Mancha—a cartoonist for the magazine "La Garrapata"—battles government censorship of his work under Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, while one of his own cartoon characters manifests in the real world, urging him to be brave and fight for what he believes in.
