Program Note

A man returns home hungry and discovers a strange red circle drawn on his refrigerator. When he places an egg inside, it miraculously cooks into a dish. The man continues to put ingredients inside and starts eating the resulting dishes one after another. The insatiable human desire, once it has tasted sweetness, is reminiscent of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and the use of live-action stop-motion technique enhances the grotesque atmosphere.
