Editorial
A milestone achievement in Mexican animation, Carlos Carrera’s expressionistic tale made history at Cannes when it won the Short Film Palme d’Or in 1994. Wrapped in the cold fluorescent light of train platforms, this nightmarish, hand-drawn vision of urban congestion weighs the price of a good deed.
