Die letzte Sau

Pig farmer Huber has found himself in a bad patch. His farm is bankrupt. Small farmers cannot compete with factory farming any longer. And when suddenly a meteorite falls from heaven and reduces the Huber farm to ashes, Huber has nothing left – except for one last pig. Together with his pig, Huber leaves the ruin which was once his farm. He starts a new life, as a nomad, a vagabond, a savage – a life which he really rather enjoys. He is now a rebel with a new cause, and on his journey he attracts people who've met a similar fate. Their stories inspire Huber to rise up against the opposition, and he quickly becomes a symbol for freedom and civil disturbance. But really, Huber just does what he thinks is best. Because there must be something wrong in a world where a fit, hard-working and honest man isn't capable of fending for himself. His message: THIS HAS TO STOP! And right he is. (Berlinale)
