The Truth Rejects You, Cornelius Short Animation

This 17-minute Spanish animated short follows Cornelius the dog as he recounts his relationship with his new roommate, Avalutsa the frog, to a therapist. His conflicting memories turn the session into

Cornelius the dog talks during a therapy session about his relationship with his new roommate, Avalucha the frog. He tries to remember what happened after the move, but his account never settles on a single version. He revisits in different ways the time he rafted with his friends, the time Avalucha drove a car, and the fact that Avalucha sold his belongings and even his heart medication, trying to figure out what happened to his life.

Cornelius is someone who has endured the coldness and ridicule of those around him. Centered on a long conversation between him and his therapist, the film reveals increasingly bizarre events as the conversation progresses. The therapist is a talking lobster, and Cornelius's search for the truth about the relationship is intertwined with his uncertain memories of Avalucha.

A Spanish short co-directed by Marc Torices and Khris Cembé, it combines 2D animation with stop-motion. The running time is 17 minutes, and Hampa Studio, Mr. Miyagi Films, and Ruibarbo Films participated in its production. The voice cast includes Marc Torices, Paula Ribó, Miguel Noguera, Marta Angelat, and Xavi Daura.
