TALE (KOKURUGA) is a 2D animated short directed by Choche Hurtado, a fragment from the larger KOKURUGA series.
Playful and hilarious, the film explores storytelling through a cultural lens, using abstraction, rhythm, and performance to create meaning beyond literal translation.
The language spoken throughout the piece is not Japanese, but an invented language, designed to feel familiar yet distant, adding to the strange and immersive tone of the world.
As part of the broader KOKURUGA project, TALE offers a glimpse into a larger universe of stories that experiment with form, language, and interpretation.
Director & Animator: Choche Hurtado
Script: Sabina Urraca
