Directed by Argentinian creators Nico Casavecchia and Martin Allais, Battlescar follows the life of 16-year-old Lupe, a Puerto Rican-American teenager living in late 1970’s New York City. Lupe’s handwritten journal guides us through her experiences as she meets Debbie, another runaway kid living in the city.
The immersive narrative exudes the energy of New York punk-rock - fast and harsh, loaded with anti-authoritarian ideology and political messages, expressing young rebellion. Battlescar is a coming-of-age drama that explores the theme of identity through the use of animation and immersive environments in virtual reality.
