202010 min6.7 / 10

A surreal, darkly comedic animated short that uses absurdist fantasy to confront the psychological torment of body image and eating disorders.

One morning, a girl tries on a pair of new pants, but they won’t zip up. In the mirror she sees herself as the fattest piglet the world has ever seen. To change this, she decides to go on a strict diet. Hunger quickly turns her into a kind of zombie, stumbling blindly to the fridge that seems to haunt her at night. In one of those moments, the Angel of the United Bitches of Slimbuttlandia appears, carrying a royal invitation to visit the kingdom and take part in a mysterious royal ceremony.
