Entertainment OverviewMarch 3, 2026

Es de esas películas que tratan sobre la vida misma y que usa lo cotidiano para hablar de temas profundos. Tiene a una de las protagonistas menos convencionales pero funciona para lo que se quiere decir.
La animación a mano es una maravilla en cada frame. Es entendible que sea una película corta.
