“After making several striking short films, Miguel Llansó has now realised his first feature film, Crumbs. The first ever Ethiopian post-apocalyptic, surreal, sci-fi feature length film. The story is set against the background of spectacular Ethiopian landscapes, where our diminutive superhero Gagano – on the one hand gripped by daydreams and on the other by constant fears – has had enough of collecting the valuable crumbs of decayed civilisation. When a spaceship starts showing signs of activity, Gagano has to overcome his fears to find out that things aren’t quite the way he thought.” – Cineuropa
In a dazzlingly imaginative vision of a post-apocalyptic Ethiopia, a hapless scavenger finds himself launched on a surreal adventure involving a mysterious UFO, witches, Santa Claus, Nazi knights, and more. Conjuring a loop-the-loop universe from the detritus of late-twentieth-century pop culture (from Michael Jordan to Ninja Turtles), this psychedelic fantasia surprises and charms as it spins off its own giddy axis.
