Mercano, el marciano (Marcano the Martian)

This animated feature from Argentina allows us to witness the smash-and-grab world of globalised corporate exploitation through alien eyes. After an errant Voyager probe squishes his beloved space dog, Mercano impulsively leaves Mars and heads for planet Earth, crash landing in Buenos Aries. Stranded on our strange planet with no hope of getting home, the only way Mercano can alleviate his homesickness is by logging onto the internet and creating a virtual world just like home. Before long Mercano's presence attracts the attention of big business and he finds himself a captive of corporate greed. His Martian technologies prove entirely too compatible with our consumer-driven society - much to the chagrin of a group of nihilists and the nerdy young boy that Mercano has befriended.
