La casa lobo (The Wolf House)
Joaquín Cociña, Cristóbal León
Synopsis
María finds refuge in a house after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics in Chile. She is welcomed inside by its only inhabitants: two pigs. Before long, though, the house begins to react to the young woman's feelings. The animals slowly turn into humans and the house becomes a nightmarish world. Inspired by the infamous case of the Colonia Dignidad, in central Chile, La casa lobo is a strikingly creative fairy tale steeped in folklore and crafted out of remarkable stop-motion animation.
