Set against the backdrop of World War II, this absurd family tree—which begins in the gloomy rooms of a barracks—evolves into a grotesque cycle that pushes the boundaries of flesh and the body. This black comedy, directed by György Pálfi, lays bare the darkest and strangest impulses of human nature through three generations of men. The insatiable appetite inherited from the first generation gradually evolves into a race against time and, ultimately, a fascination with taxidermy. Shaped under the insidious weight of the Cold War atmosphere, this independent film weaves together surrealist nightmares and absurd humor on the same stage, interwoven with stomach-churning details.
