Mister Piggy

Anđelo (17), a high school senior of heavier build, struggles daily with his weight and his father’s pressure to slim down. Every morning he must step on the scale, and his father takes him to treatments with Dr. Car, a controversial “specialist” who humiliates patients at weigh-ins, either praising or insulting them. At home, he lives in the shadow of his older brother, handsome and confident, to whom everything seems to come easily. Anđelo has good friends, but unknowingly, through small remarks about bodies and appearance, they constantly remind him of his insecurities. At a birthday party, Anđelo gets drunk, and late at night, while everyone else is asleep, he wakes up and begins eating ravenously in the kitchen, losing control. Yet the next morning, at the weigh-in, it turns out he has lost weight. The doctor celebrates him and the women in the group applaud. Anđelo leaves the clinic caught between victory and defeat.
