If you're in the mood for genuinely weird, artistic animation that doesn't hold your hand, absolutely watch this tonight—it's a rare gem from a visionary animator that rewards curious viewers. Skip it only if surreal body horror and experimental Soviet aesthetics sound like your personal nightmare.

Plot

Extraordinarily detailed and beautifully drawn animation of a bizarre and surreal world; the domestic life of a fat man, his wife, a sort of oversized obese chicken, and their child/pet, a slug-like creature with a human head. This expressionistic and interior vision of Soviet animator Kovalyov is like an animated Eraserhead.
