AnimationComedyDrama

An anxious cartoonist in Rome, guided by an armadillo-like inner voice, looks back on friendships, growing up, and a complicated almost-romance. As a trip outside the city unfolds, everyday jokes and rapid-fire thoughts give way to more honest reflections about insecurity, regret, and what it means to move forward.
