Mansi Maheshwari’s Sundance-nominated, Cannes-winning animated comedy-horror tells the tale of an adolescent betrayal.

Mum would never lie to me, would she? Bobby discovers the answer to this question when a promised trip to get burgers takes a diversion. Based on a memorable incident from Maheshwari’s childhood, this comedy-horror was built from 20,000 frenetically scribbled drawings.

Featuring Nina Wadia (Goodness Gracious Me) as the well-meaning but deceptive mother to Maheshwari’s unsuspecting Bobby. The film’s deliberately crude, scratchy aesthetic perfectly embodies its psychological disorientation, a frenetic fever dream of fear, pain and being lied to.
