🎭 Synopsis
DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS Short Film (2025); Legendary Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales stars as Señor, an elderly man living in the mountains of Puerto Rico 🏔️. He digs up a box of old photographs 📦📸 and shares them with his loyal friend Concho—a critically endangered Puerto Rican crested toad (voiced by Kenneth Canales) 🐸.
As Señor walks to the local panadería for food, he discovers his neighborhood has been invaded by American gentrifiers 🇺🇸: a family barbecuing to country music, an English-only cashier, and a “vegan quesíto” (a cheese-filled pastry… without cheese) 🧀❌. The film is a powerful allegory for cultural erasure, using the sapo concho (native toad) as a symbol of Puerto Ricans facing extinction in their own homeland 💔🇵🇷
