Translation: "The Platypus" is a hilarious work about relationships in postmodern social networks. It begins with the story of Ana and Paco, who have had a loving, but boring relationship for several years. Ana is a student, working on her thesis about the platypus, a curious, unclassifiable and exotic animal. Paco decides to add some excitement when he asks Ana about the possibility of having an open relationship. This triggers a discussion around their desires for experimentation, and poses the possibility of how infidelity could help them rediscover their passions, fears and realities! Featuring Nixtehá Sosa, Andres Vázquez, Omar Lucian, Alberto Sosa, and José Esqueda, "El Ornitorrinco" is directed by Adriana Millán.
