Monero (2026)

Inspired by real historical events and crafted as a heartfelt tribute to legendary Mexican illustrator RIUS, this gripping cinematic journey unfolds in the politically charged streets of 1968 Mexico City. At the center stands Mancha, a fearless comic creator for the underground zine La Garrapata, who finds himself locked in a dangerous war against state-enforced press restrictions under the ruling administration of Gustavo Díaz Ordaz. Just as the pressure mounts, his creative defiance takes an astonishing leap into reality when one of his own satirical illustrations magically steps off the page and into the physical world. Acting as a living muse, this ink-born companion pushes Mancha to silence his doubts, embrace his courage, and wage an unyielding artistic battle for truth and personal conviction.
