In a dark and lonely chamber, Dasnein is born, a grotesque insect who tries to satisfy his most onanistic instincts through a hypnotic screen that displays the lustful and chaotic world of Panium. As he continues to watch this world, Dasnein becomes increasingly obsessed, until his own obsession ultimately leads to a fatal outcome.

Paula Gallego (b. 1999, Madrid) is an experimental animation creator whose work emerges between painting and moving images. After studying fine arts at UCM and later completing a M.A. in animation at UPV, she developed a language defined by the organic and the grotesque. Her professional career began as an animator on the feature film Astrolabio, where she delved into an unsettling, sensory aesthetic, and continued with her participation in the official ident for the Master’s in Animation. She is currently part of Cinezeta, where she continues to explore images that breathe, mutate, and deform.
