Synopsis

Inside a slaughterhouse in Girona, workers perform their tasks with mechanical precision. The film captures the stark reality of animal slaughter, stripped of any ritualistic significance. Daily routines unfold in a sterile environment, where human gestures become automatic. The documentary presents an unvarnished look at the processes involved, revealing the disconnect between the act of killing and the sacred traditions often associated with it. At just eight minutes long, it offers a brief yet impactful observation of this industrial practice.
