Calfucoy. With the Land Under my Feet

My name is Eloísa Calfucoy and I’m an apartment girl.
I grew up in a “questions and answers” home.
Just like my parents, I have researched everything in the world,
—Mom? What is this made of?
—Dad, it seems like this was made in India
—Yes Elo, this is made in big factories in China.
That’s why we buy used things, to reduce our carbon footprint.
—Ahh… I thought it was because we had no money.

Eloísa Calfucoy is an apartment girl. Her traditions and problems are limited to the comfortable four walls of her home. Until one day her curiosity and her eagerness to know everything, push her on a journey to her roots. Will she be brave enough to cross the front door and look for the answers herself?
