Directed by Thirza Ingold and produced by Asako Film, Kill Your Darlings transforms the idyllic imagery of a countryside farm into a surreal moral tale. The stop-motion short follows farmer Olga, whose love for her pigs, and for pork, creates a macabre loop of consequence and desire.
The handcrafted clay aesthetic heightens the tension between innocence and brutality, while realistic meat sequences punctuate the story with unsettling contrast. Through tactile textures, expressive modeling, and a darkly humorous tone, the film captures a haunting meditation on greed and the cost of consumption.
Asako Film is a Swiss studio founded by director Anja Kofmel. Specializing in adult animation and hybrid storytelling, the studio creates emotionally rich films that challenge perceptions and explore unconventional perspectives.
