Director‘s Statement:
Everyone is afraid of being “Abnormal”. But what is “Normal”? The main social atmosphere asks us to live lives as our parents’: getting "normal" education, finding "normal" jobs, marrying "normal" people, having "normal" kids, and then keeping "normal" life pattern like eating, drinking, having sex and fun until die. But what’s difference from human to pig? Pigs also know how to eat, drink and have sex and fun. They just don't have that many conditions like human have. If you put a pig’s soul into a person’s body, it will also be obedient to the "normal" life pattern. But this "Normal" doesn't have human’s value. People live as commodities on factories’ producing lines. Many people live and die in vain, as slaves of the privilege. And they never recognize it, and regard this as “Normal”, even attack people who fight for them. How stupid and pathetic! In fact, we don’t just mock the “Normal” lifestyle. We just want people rethink whether they worth to be people. And find their own ways to make contribution to the earth planet, rather than waste their lives.
