Decorado

Decorado follows Arnold, an unemployed, middle-aged anthropomorphic mouse living in a city called Anywhere. He is deep in a personal downward spiral: his marriage to Maria is crumbling and his sense of purpose has collapsed. Arnold becomes consumed by the conviction that his entire world is not real—that the city, the people, and the routines of daily life are nothing more than a giant theatrical set and that his existence is merely a scripted performance written by unseen hands. His paranoia intensifies when his best friend Ramiro dies under mysterious circumstances. Rather than accept the official explanation, Arnold begins investigating and gradually uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy: their reality is fabricated and maintained by a monolithic corporation called ALMA (Almighty Limitless Megacorporative Agency), whose influence permeates every aspect of life in Anywhere. As Arnold digs deeper, his personal life deteriorates further, but he also finds an unexpected companion—apparently a ghostly presence linked to the dead Ramiro—who accompanies him on a desperate search for escape. The narrative follows Arnold's fragmented, non-linear flight toward some form of freedom, blending dark surrealism and deadpan humor with body-horror imagery. The director has stated the film's resolution centers on the idea that authentic bonds of love and friendship are the only genuine way out of a dehumanizing, corporately controlled reality. Specific third-act plot details and a clear ending resolution are not well-documented in available sources; the film has been described by critics as deliberately ambiguous, leaving certain threads unresolved.
