Academy Award® Nominee for Best Animated Short Film (2024).
A surreal journey into the dark subconscious of Israel’s collective memory,
as seen through the eyes of a young school girl.
A Holocaust survivor writes a ‘thank you’ letter after the war, to the pig that saved his life. Following his testimony in the classroom, a young schoolgirl dreams a dark version of his story. In her subconscious, through the pig’s controversial figure she confuses good and bad, victim and victimizer, and confronts big questions about humanity, evil and compassion.
