Miguel Llansó’s post-apocalyptic, sci-fi romance, "Crumbs," a Spanish-Ethiopian co-production which made its world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) earlier this year, will be released Stateside by Indiepix Films, on all platforms, including limited theatrical screenings in select cities across the country, as well as DVD and VOD.

Directed by Spaniard Llansó, who actually lives in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), "Crumbs" stars Daniel Tadesse, and tells a story of diminutive superhero Gagano (played by Tadesse), a junk collector, who embarks on a "surreal epic journey" that’s set against "post-apocalyptic Ethiopian landscapes," says the press description. He’s had enough of collecting "valuable crumbs of a decayed civilization," when a spaceship that has been hovering high in the sky for years, starts showing signs of activity, and Gagano has to overcome his fears – which includes a witch, Santa Claus and second-generation Nazis – to find out that the world isn’t quite what he thought it was.

The director/actor pair (Llansó and Tadesse) have worked together before, on the award-winning 2013 short film "Chigger Ale," about "Hitler´s Ethiopian clone." It enjoyed a successful international film festival run, but I haven’t seen it, so can’t offer any useful commentary on the work, and what one can expect from "Crumbs," which is their first feature film collaboration.

Jan Naszewski of New Europe Film Sales (the company that repped the film at the European Film Market) describes Llansó as a filmmaker with "a very distinctive voice… and we want to nurture it."

Below you’ll find upcoming theatrical screenings. For everyone else, the film will be released on DVD on November 3, and on VOD platforms on November 17.
