Aroview: Satirical Argentine animation about a Martian who crashes his flying saucer on Earth and thus stranded builds himself a virtual Mars on the internet. Unfortunately, he befriends an internet geek with evil designs on his technological prowess...

Mixing dry sarcasm, an insider's approach and an effectively minimal animation, this has been compared to BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD, but comes out with a greater conceptual reach and overall message.
