Director Statement

Darilo was born from the imagination of two friends, inspired by real people and situations of their neighborhood in their adolescence. After having remained 29 years without going public, I have finally managed to bring it to light.
It is about fully exposing the daily and inevitable human idiocy with which we live, contrasting them with a mixture of black humor, absurdity and physical comedy.

Darilo's world flows based on real life stories with themes such as laziness, materialism, immaturity, envy or violence, which are taken to the extreme with the intention of resulting in an intelligent laughter in which the viewer finds something of himself in them, and live an experience that provokes both laughter and introspection.
