Cutting Fat

This quietly unsettling film observes a man navigating the mundane realities of corporate life with an extraordinary, deeply personal ritual. Elias, a data entry clerk adrift in a sea of paperwork, finds solace – and perhaps necessity – in periodically removing his vital organs. The procedure itself is presented with a matter-of-factness that underscores the absurdity of his existence, blurring the lines between physical act and metaphorical release. The film explores themes of alienation, suppressed emotion, and the desperate search for agency within systems designed to diminish individuality. It’s a darkly humorous and strangely poignant portrait of one man's attempt to reclaim control over his body and, by extension, his life, even if that reclamation is profoundly bizarre.
