synopsis
A reconstruction of the preparations for a prisoner’s last meal prior to their execution turns into a reflection on the position of capital punishment and its associated rituals in today’s society. The film combines documentary material with in-depth stylization, iconic installations and animation. It is an excursion into cultural history, and symbolic feasting becomes a source for the imagination.
