Food
This short is a combination of stop-animation, claymation and live action. It's divided into three acts: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
In 'Breakfast' a succession of men in a restaurant use each other as sort of live vending machines for dispensing food, utensils and napkins. In 'Lunch', two men in a restaurant, unable to attract the attention of waiters begin to eat first their own clothes, until they're naked, then the furniture.
Finally in 'Dinner' a man sits down and begins to consume himself.
