When I was four, I spent a couple of months in the countryside,” recalls Russian filmmaker Viktor Kosakovskiy. “It was a very cold winter, and my relatives, they took a piglet inside the house, and he became my best friend. We were running together and enjoying life. Then, in the New Year, he became a dinner. My relatives killed my friend. I said, ‘I cannot eat meat and I cannot talk to you.’”
