Hallucination – Brazil

When veteran cartoonist Joe K. is falsely accused of plagiarism, his life turns into a Kafkaesque nightmare.

His only hope is Onion-Man, the odd superhero he has been drawing for decades, who magically escapes from the comic books into the real world.

Together, they must outwit an authoritarian AI and unleash the deadliest of superpowers to avoid prison.
