Created by Gonzalo Cordova (‘Tuca & Bertie’, ‘Adam Ruins Everything’) and produced in partnership with Mexico City-based studio Cinema Fantasma (‘Frankelda’s Book of Spooks’), the stop-motion movie, featuring an all-woman cast, it follows Marioneta, a proud wealthy Spaniard living in 1980s Quito, Ecuador. There she encounters a diverse group of eccentric and ambitious women navigating the complicated worlds of love, family, and cuys (guinea pigs). And remember, guinea pigs are family, not food.
