Synopsis

A 12 years old adventurous, hyperactive –sometimes a bit Machiavellian— human girl, and a lazy and huge dog that poses as cynical and indifferent, in a zombie world. But these are not your typical stupid, moaning zombies. These are fully-civilized, neurotic-as-humans, uncertain-about-existence zombies. After conquering the Earth, they went back to working in offices, torturing themselves in the gym, etc. All with the addition of specifically zombie problems, like constantly losing parts of their bodies, and zombie values: for example, rotten is beautiful.
This is the world where the characters live, where Luna has zombie friends, plays with zombie limbs, and learns zombie values. It’s the only world she knows. Luna was too young when the zombie virus spread, she doesn’t remember humanity. But she’s constantly trying to imagine it. That’s why she chases its ruins: pictures, ads, music, etc. And with the things she finds she produces her own image of humanity: an absurd, extravagant and colorful representation, to which she adds a new layer of information –and of craziness—in each episode.
But why don’t the zombies eat Luna’s brain? Because she sprays herself with a product that neutralizes the smell of human brain. It was given to her by her only human friend: Tito, an old scientist that found out how to prevent the zombie infection too late, and was able to save only Luna and her dog. Tito is always at his home/laboratory. He has a mission and he does not take breaks from it: he wants to turn zombies back into humans. But he needs some things from the outside world, and to investigate the answers to some difficult questions. For that, he sends Luna and her dog in different missions, in search for some remains of the human world, or some answers he can’t get in his lab.
Tito despises zombies. But Luna and her dog, who don’t hate zombies, who have zombie friends, will change, bit by bit, Tito’s perspective, and maybe force him to rethink his mission.
