The Van

Marcos, weary of city life, buys an old van and sets off on a journey across Spanish roads. His dog Bruno rides shotgun, and soon they're joined by a mysterious hitchhiker named Ana. Their trip becomes a series of absurd situations and unexpected encounters — from arguing with a farmer over a chicken to spending a night in a deserted hotel. This 2025 animated comedy-drama explores themes of freedom, friendship, and the search for simple joys. The visual style blends hand-drawn animation with digital backgrounds, creating a warm, almost tactile road movie atmosphere. The dialogue is filled with dry Spanish humor and philosophical musings on what it means to be happy here and now.
