Plot: Rather strange and bizarre movie here kiddies. Let's see, from what I can make out, there's this orphan, who is put into an orphanage with some rather strange kids. They're all conspiring to kill the leader of the orphanage I believe. There's also the fact that the kid won't eat meat, or much of anything at all, because of reasons that are relatively unclear. The kid thinks at one point, that all the kids will explode if you eat too much! (and this is shown too, in a fantasy sequence), soon all this food obsessiveness gets to the kid (when he sees people feeding stuffed (get it? Stuffed?) birds, and hightails it out there to the big city. Actually, the results are not positive, as he becomes a homeless kid. Eek! Filled with bizarre imagery and clueless pacing, this movie is not really my favorite movie, but I will give points to the filmmaker for sheer originality, And stay tuned for the sequel! (actually, I probably won't be there)
