Loosely based on Federico García Lorca’s plays — ‘The Puppet Play of Don Cristóbal,’ ‘The Billy‑Club Puppets,’ and ‘Doña Rosita the Spinster’ — this short film captures their poetry through puppetry and stop‑motion animation. It opens as an absurd comedy before turning into a heartrending, lyrical tragedy that ends with a resonant line.
