Synopsis

"Man, in the need to explain and understand the world around him, gives the animal, especially on the symbolic level, the functions performed, at first only for himself. It is believed that the pig guesses its end, feels death, and on the eve of the slaughter spends the night beating on the door of the court, which is expressed with the belief that that night it gets up seven times to eat the owner". (Adrian Canoura)
