Mariscal in the courtyard of his home in Formentera
Xavier Mariscal, Fernando Trueba and Tone Errando are working on a new animation project based and set in the Pine Islands in the late 60′s.
The history of the project is about two young teenage friends who travel from the mainland to Ibiza and Formentera, just in the late 60′s, where they will live a great experience of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
The music that accompanies the film will fascinate all those who like the rock as the soundtrack to the various items of rock formed of 60-70 years, and Pink Floyd (whose members also had their own experience in Formentera), and some groups.
The last film made by this trio, ”Chico and Rita” was a success that earned her aGoya for best animated film of 2011 and nominated for an Oscar that year in the same genre.
