Crumbs is a 2015 Ethiopian post-apocalyptic science fiction romance film. It is the first feature film from Spanish-born director Miguel Llansó.
Filmed around Dallol, Ethiopia on a budget of $225,000, Crumbs "takes an exotic and sometimes surreal approach to what's essentially a simple, touching love story".[1] Premiered at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, Crumbs won a Nightfall Jury Mention at the 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival and the Award for Best First Feature Film at the 2015 Fantasia International Film Festival.[2]
Synopsis
In a dazzlingly imaginative vision of a postapocalyptic Ethiopia, a hapless scavenger finds himself launched on a surreal adventure involving a mysterious UFO, witches, Santa Claus, Nazi knights, and more. Conjuring a loop-the-loop universe from the detritus of late-twentieth-century pop culture (from Michael Jordan to Ninja Turtles), this psychedelic fantasia surprises and charms as it spins off its own giddy axis.
