Synopsis

Thanks to the Vegetarian Pact, all animals live together in "peace and harmony". All but one: stinky hyena Crevel, who is sick of his crappy-daily-fruit-and-vegetable ration and is desperate to sink his teeth into some tender co-inhabitant of the world. Determined to get his fill and to wreak havoc in the prevailing "good karma" atmosphere, one night Crevel goes to the cemetery planning to stuff himself with stiffs, but he can't do it: someone has beat him to it! Pérsicus, the president lion, and his consigliere, tiger Altaicus, have set up a perverse food smuggling network with the bodies in order to secretly fulfil their hunger for meat. When they are discovered, they blame Crevel of the brutal profanation, forcing him to escape from the herbivores' fury.

Pedro Rivero

Pedro Rivero (Bilbao, 1969) is president of the Basque Screenwriters Guild since 2002, and he worked as a writer on several animation series and feature films during the nineties. Disgusted by the experience he decides to take control of his work through the company Abrakam Estudio and the production of the feature film "Animal Crisis", based on some comic strips that he published fifteen years ago in the newspaper '' El Diario Vasco'' Currently he combines his work heading said project with teaching and occasional collaborations in film and theatre, which are also disgusting to him…
