Humanity ended on the planet Earth and there are nothing but ruins everywhere. El after del Mundo (The World’s After) is an animated short film created by Florentina González.
After everything was destroyed, there weren’t many living creatures around there. The story starts with a soul seeking a stable wifi connection. His luck isn’t in his favor but he’s persistent.
Eventually, he meets with another ghost, we begin to realize their relationship and similar sides as well as opposites. While their environment changes the story develops.
The animation and character design are spectacular, the story hooks the viewer to other aspects. In some moments I felt the same vibe with Midnight Gospel, a Netflix-produced animated series. In some ways, the similarity is out there and that also gave me comfort and let me into the story.
El after del Mundo does not need any praise from anyone because the awards they get from festivals show its value.
