I killed my father, I ate human flesh, and I quiver with joy.

Drama

Two dramatic stories. In an undetermined past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julian, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling and visceral journey into the fringes of society. This film offers a disturbing, surreal exploration of human nature and alienation, leaving a lasting, uncomfortable impression.
