An intriguing dark comedy about how everything falls perfectly into place for Paulino to become the Christmas dinner of a typical Mexican ranch family. Beyond the animation, the cinematography stands out, with composition and lighting that give it the aura of a psychological thriller—or even horror. An absolute masterpiece.
