Adolfo

“Well then, if you were a cactus, where would you live?”

What happens when aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, a cactus and a sad boy bump into each other at an isolated bus station? In Sofía Auza’s unconventional boy-meets-girl fairytale, Momo, dressed up as the legendary aviator, has just been released from rehab and Hugo and his cactus named Adolfo are on their way to his estranged father’s funeral. Over the course of a night, the three offbeat protagonists embark on a series of adventures with the ultimate mission to find a new home for Adolfo – and eventually to heal some wounds along the way. A life-affirming parable of love, styled with fluorescent layers of dreamy colours and floaty indie-riffs that explores how sadness and happiness, doubt and belief are reverse sides of the same coin.
