La Casa Lobo (The Wolf House) tells the story of Maria. After escaping a religious colony in Chile, Maria seeks shelter in a country house, where she's taken in by two pigs, the house's only inhabitants. As if in a stop-motion dream, the world of the house responds to her emotions. The animals slowly turn into humans, and the house transforms into a dark, menacing world.
Surreal and unsettling: an ex-/implosion of inimitable creativity that pushes the boundaries of what's possible with stop-motion. Like a dark, rippling river of papier-mâché, cardboard, paint and all manner of other materials, this nightmare pulls you into a suffocating, dark, yet also strikingly beautiful den.
