DECORADO

An unemployed middle-aged mouse suspects his entire world is merely a set, tracing the conspiracy to a corporation influencing every corner of his life.

Something is wrong in the city of Anywhere. Arnold is caught in an existential crisis. His marriage is falling apart, his life feels meaningless, and he begins to suspect that everything around him is a grand illusion. When his best friend dies under mysterious circumstances, he believes a monolithic corporation is behind it. What begins as a creeping paranoia turns into a desperate flight toward something that might, just might, resemble freedom. Adapted from the acclaimed 2016 short film by director Alberto Vázquez (BIRDBOY: THE FORGOTTEN CHILDREN, UNICORN WARS), DECORADO blends biting humor with haunting beauty in a darkly comedic odyssey through our era of social control, manufactured realities, and the quest for authentic human connection.
