Dinner for few | Animated short film by Nassos Vakalis

During dinner, "the system" feeds the few who consume all the resources while the rest survive on scraps. Inevitably, the struggle for what remains leads to catastrophic change. The offspring of this transition turns out not to be a sign of hope, but the spitting image of the parents.

Hi buddy But if they are politicans and all then what do the chains symbolize?

[@shadycatnipdealer1781]

@@madhavsharma6643 I would say it symbolizes the consequences they carelessly lock themselves into. Like for example, large companies getting big profits in the short run but causing horrific natural disasters that will affect them too with the planet's changing atmosphere, and how they won't be able to escape the consequences of their actions forever. Just like when the cats turned into the tiger they tried to escape but couldn't due to the chains they ignored under the table wrapping tighter and tighter around their legs the whole time. If they were more aware of their surroundings instead of solely focused on getting what they want now, they might have noticed the chains while they were still lose and get out of them.

[@akirayagami3816]

[@Okarabouzouklis]

The fake mice represents them putting distractions for the common people so thay they don't know whats actually going on The one meatball and the cats fighting over it represents how they can put out stuff so that the cats get more and more divided The chains represent them not being aware of the consequences Idk what the tiger dying represents Idk what the fat guy represents Them getting new utensils probably symbolises them always gonna get new tools to fight with Them being pigs is self explainatory And cats being obviously weak (looking like they are starving while the pigs are eating) Is also self explanatory

[@shadycatnipdealer1781]

@@Okarabouzouklis Yes! I think all of those are spot on too. I believe the tiger dying is supposed to represent when the common folk become too complacent/relaxed again and are allowed to be divided. Like when politicians push a 'us vs them' narrative. We can't be the tiger unless we are all together, so as long as one of us is excluded we remain cats.

[@TiffanySoulbird]

Excellent short film! One thing that struck me...the wind up mouse toy used to distract the cats. It happens regularly......regular "hot news topics" purposely used as distractions. The ppl only transform into the tiger when hungry enough to ignore the distractions but we need to start seeing them for what they are, far before we reach the point of desperation. Excellent message!

(Mark 9:42) I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

The pigs destroyed the building gradually by eating little bits of it. 4. When the cats became too hungry, they became one in a tiger and ate the pigs. 5. The cook killed the tiger & separated the cats when it was asleep. 6. The cats were satisfied with the crumbles they were fed until there was no food left.

I think it’s also worth paying attention to how, at the beginning of the film and at the end, pieces fall ominously from the cliff next to which the house stands. If the rooms are countries, and the hotel is the entire ecosystem of the earth, then the slowly but surely collapsing rock is world's fate, that, even before the world-eaters devour the entire earth, will literally throw our world into the abyss.

[@Epic_Memer_Man]

Nice attention to detail I didn't see that

[@SmokedAlien]

It political not geopolitical. It's about one single nation and I believe the rooms are different generations of a society, the house being the nation, while the rocks falling into the sea represent the erosion/degeneration of the foundations/pillars of democracy, risking to make the house/nation to fall underwater, a risk amplified by fact that it has been built on unsafe foundation/place which may stand for the climate crisis we don't see due to being focused on what happens inside the house. What I don't understand is why the floors ? Do they represent the 3 categories of nations (1st-3rd world), meaning that democratic revolutions occur in 1st world nations first ?

[@SmokedAlien]

Hold up, the rocks falling and the wrong hill/cliff upon which the house has been built can't be about climate crisis. The sea waves could be the climate crisis, due to the implied slow erosion of the coastline itself, and climate crisis isn't that important in politics yet (nobody gives a shit about it in politics tbh, only people and NGOs cares about it). That hill is the perfect representation of the financial bubble (boom & bust/cliff & underwater), while the rocks falling is inflation of national currency aka the erosion of nation/people's wealth, which is very profitable for who has access to cheap currency loans that devalues itself (I use this strategy in crypto). Investors & entepreneurs love inflation if they're pros, while working class pay the price for both, due to lack of financial education (not knowing that you must store gold/BTC and borrow currency, etc) & elite's greed (they know the collateral effects/"unintended" consequences of this). I believe the meaning of those details is: "We're in a bubble, the bubble is about to bust and we built our nations in/on the wrong place/hill/monetary, financial & economical premises (fractional reserve banking & modern monetary theory), ignoring safety policies required to not end up with the nation underwater due to the laws of nature /thermodynamics/quantum physics (same laws apply to finance & economy also, even if "serious" economists don't know it)". To understand better what I mean I suggest you "The big short" movie, "How the economics machine works by Ray Dalio", "The collapse of the American dream explained with animations" and "money masters full documentary".

Billionaires go bust all the time. it’s never the same people. wealth is created not recycled. anyone can become wealthy and successful if they are smart and creative enough. communism makes everyone poor equally. and no billionaire is out to get you. they dont give a shit about anybody but themselves. they arent out to get you.

I've saved this film for a couple of years now, knowing one day it'll come back around for a re-watch. What a coincidence that I got a prompt tonight from KZbin! 😉 Most of the characters and their surroundings are quite obvious in their representations. But to me, that cook/server represents Human Ignorance as he continues to engage in mindless consumption and contributes to the decaying and the destruction of their own earthly Home. The Mouse is the many distractions that lure those cats away from the main issues, and seeking/facing the truths. Brilliant film! 👏 🧡 ***Children under 13 years of age should be supervised by parents when viewing.

I watched this numerous times to take in as much of the details in the story as i could. I found it useful to look with care at the little things in the story. On a dark stormy night, in the upper dining room of a hotel is a table covered in an array of food, being served to anthropomorphic pigs. The 6 pigs are dressed in various costumes :The Pig wearing the Judge's "peruke" or courtroom wig, representing the impartiality of the court that has no personal agenda in its proceedings. The Pig dressed in the ornate vestments of clergy, who sits at the left hand of the Judge pig. The 2 top hat wearing pigs, one sits at the opposite end of the table from the Judge pig. His necktie is blue, the other top hat pig sits at the right hand of the judge pig, his tie is red. Between the 2 top hat pigs sits a hatless pig with a tuxedo, a mustache and ostentatious jewelry on his hands. On the other side of the table next to the clergy garments pig is another hatless pig, the only one to wear glasses, he also has a mustache and goatee and wears a fashionable ensemble of green shirt and jacket with matching trim. He is one of those at the table who offers scraps to the scrawny cats (whose voices are plaintive and loud throughout the dinner.) The cats are black and white, and they fight among themselves for food on the floor, that which has fallen by accident and that small amount which is given by the pigs. One black cat has pursued a fallen meatball under the long tablecloth and sees clearly that all the pigs are caught by their legs with heavy chains that squeeze them, one serpent-like chain has a padlock for a head and spots the amazed cat, who is then seized by the chain and disappears under the cloth, his fellow cats don't notice. Dinner is served by one man who is big and strong, he feeds everything in the room and finally the room itself into the hopper of a big steel machine that expels black smoke like a factory and transforms it all into plates of food for the pigs, the strong man never eats, nor speaks, and doesn't feed the cats directly, he is naked to the waist and gradually goes to more dire lengths in order to provide food, the chandelier having been consumed, light is provided by candles, in this darker room the cats become increasingly agitated and vocal, gathering around the judge pig's chair, in frustration, he waves them away towards the fashionably dressed pig, who uses a wind up toy mouse that leads them away from the table temporarily. The man shrugs as he holds an empty plate from the machine once all the food is gone and the pigs have begun to hit the table, as in a tantrum, clamoring for more to consume. The pigs begin to devour the plates themselves and the cats leap up onto the table, transformed into a huge black and white tiger who lunges and devours the judge pig, throws his decapitated head on the table before consuming the other pigs, who try and fail to escape the hidden chains that hold them fast. With all the pigs killed and eaten, the tiger lies down on the table to sleep, while the working man emerges from behind his machine with a large knife which he uses to quickly kill the tiger, after listening to the tiger's belly, he cuts its body open to extract black and white kittens, which he tenderly gathers in a top hat and carries into a new dining room, he switches on the light in the empty room and the kittens scurry out of the hat. We see their shadows on the wall as they're transformed into the same 6 pigs who sat at the last dining table, one of the black top hatted pigs ceremoniously distributes knives and forks to his fellow pigs from what appears to be a ballot box. And the cycle begins again, as our view is drawn outside into the stormy night we see the hotel with a demolished room in the corner, outside the storm rages on, and rain falls into a turbulent ocean that crashes against the crumbling cliff upon which the hotel sits. For now...

Could you explain how this ‘situation’ could change?
