Wood You Eat That Load, Pig

This avant-garde comedy-drama follows a philosophical pig named Hamlet who questions his existence and the ethics of his impending fate. Through a series of surreal encounters and internal monologues, Hamlet grapples with his desires and the societal pressures of being a farm animal. The film culminates in a thought-provoking, albeit controversial, examination of consumption and identity.
