The premise

Here’s the bit.

Bruce McCulloch directs and stars in this moody short film, a pastiche of grim Eastern Bloc industrial cinema set around the Krupe Meats sausage plant. A bespectacled worker cooks for a ravenous, wild-haired old woman at home (Scott Thompson), then spends his shifts squinting at sausages under the eye of a tuxedoed foreman (Mark McKinney) who searches departing staff and fires anyone caught smuggling meat. Smitten with a woman who packs the boxes, he shoves the foreman aside, carries a box of sausages out of the factory and leaves it on her doorstep. Back home empty-handed, he faces the old woman's increasingly unhinged demands for sausages, and the film closes on a dreamlike wedding on the factory floor.

Highly quotable.

You know what happens when we find sausages down a person's pants, don't you?

You said you'd bring me sausages. I don't see no sausages.

We are all sausages.
