After a remarkable passage at Sundance, Piggy made noise at the Fantastic Fest, in Austin, before being rewarded at the BIFFF with the critics’ prize. First feature film by Spanish director Carlota Pereda, adapted from her 2018 short film Cerdita, this horror-style coming-of-age film is revealed in a bloody trailer. For Sara (Laura Galán), the summer in his small Spanish village is above all synonymous with harassment and body shaming. Nicknamed “slut” by her stalkers, she will be faced with a dilemma when a mysterious stranger decides to go after three of these bullies. Sara knows more than she cares to admit, but should she talk to save those girls or say nothing to protect that stranger who saved her? Piggy promises to be a radical proposal to evoke self-image, harassment and its dramatic consequences. A release in French theaters has been announced for November 12.
