Synopsis

Two dramatic stories. In an undetermined past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julian, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.

Cinematic Threads
The first time I saw Pasolini was when I was a teenager. It was Salo, which of course blew me away. Then it was Teorema, Medea, Porcile – those films really got into me.
