They play the leading role in a social community project. On a piece of no man's land, demarcated by an electric wire, between a railway and a small parking lot, the pigs process the food surpluses of restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. A noble idea. The film starts in a seemingly earthly paradise, where they can eat as they please and receive warmth and friendship from the local residents. But slowly it starts to shift. The outside world disturbs their peaceful existence more and more often, and with increasing severity. Meanwhile, summer turns into autumn, their place deteriorates, the atmosphere between the pigs becomes grim and their faith in mankind ebbs away. The camera not only takes us to the eye level of Luc, Mia and Anja, it also looks at mankind from their perspective. New Pigs on the Block is a tenderly confrontational film, which illuminates the ambiguous relationship between humans and animals in an unprecedented way. See less
