Food

1996 16 min Animation · Comedy

A stop-motion love letter to gastronomy that never chews more than it can swallow. Three meals unfold as absurdist puppet theatre, where cutlery has wills of its own and bread behaves like a tiny insurgent. The film’s true hunger isn’t for calories but for peculiar charm.
