Still from The Herd

The Herd

畜群202313 minShort film

The escape of a younger brother who is a chikujin, a human bred for food, and the older sister who lives alone with him. Drawing on Nietzsche's idea of the herd instinct, the film asks how fragile and vague our endorsement of respect for diversity has been, resting as it does on everyday desires and attachment to our own culture.
