Rebelling against the banality of work, Rodrigo Moreno’s playful and restorative Cannes highlight reinvents the heist film as a free-flowing adventure in which love and epiphanies bloom. A beguiling and defiant quest for personal freedom that dares to embrace the strangeness of life with open arms.

Drawing its idiosyncratic power from the wellsprings of legend, this ecstatic folktale travels from 19th-century Italy to Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego. A primal meditation on the potency of storytelling, The Tale of King Crab is a redemptive fable charged with mythic grandeur and elemental beauty.
