A pictorial puppet performance with animals and a drop of blood, Emil is inspired by motifs from French plays, B-movies and our imaginations. A story about a mysterious, secluded idyll in the forest. About the power to change a family curse. About the power of love. And mainly about the way a pig squeals at the moment of death. And don’t forget the snail.
