Synopsis

"Imagine you go to heaven and a pig opens the gates." the master butcher demands of his apprentice. At first glance it seems macabre, at a second one profound. Upon longer contemplation it tells the story of an existential drama. Meat-eating humans have managed to suppress the fact that they eat animals. The film follows those who face the facts - those who do the killing. What do they repress, what do they feel, what do they dream about? For the protagonists, these questions mean everything – motivation, bitter truth and at the same time Pandora's box, which one better keeps closed.
