After taking advice from his breakfast (an unusually chatty bowl of oatmeal!), a lonely man constructs a lover from his collection of raw meat.
This unusual short-movie's raison d'être is to deliver its undeniably unsettling payoff: a disturbing final shot of the protagonist laying on his bed with his arm around his makeshift, meaty mate. While this is undoubtedly an imaginative and twisted piece of imagery, I'm not sure that it is strong enough to justify the dreary build-up and mundane delivery; a bit more of a story and some reasoning behind the man's dodgy mental state certainly wouldn't have gone amiss.
