O NENO SARDIÑA

2023 | Fiction short film | Drama, fantastic

It’s said that at indeterminate point of the Miño River, in the north of Galicia, a sardine-boy crosses the current at the end of the carnival festivities, leaving behind the people who celebrate his burial. It is unknown what causes his transformation, but the most observant eyes say that could the moisture on his skin. His existence is even confirmed by the biggest sceptics. No one in the area has any doubts.
