We are taken to an imaginary battle field, in which computer mouses confront traditional pencils, erasers and sharpeners. At the end it will all turn into a nonsensical parody about how present technology, in the hands of advertisement, is invading our society in a way that no one will ever be able to stop. On a nearby television, the past and the future fight for the present!

At the age of 23, while studying to be a philosophy professor, this “Madrileiro” (person born in Coruña and raised in Madrid) heard – as he says – “the call of the wild” whilst reading a book by Quino, the author of “Mafalda”. He decided, then and there, that “that” was exactly what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Although at an early age he was artistically inclined to drawing, he later decided to study for a master’s in 3D Animation and Digital Post-Production, thanks to which the doors to his creativity opened even more; and not only on paper vignettes, but up on screen in making “Revolt of the Mouses” his first international film after two intensive years of production.
