Erwin is a master butcher and has been running his own butcher’s shop in the town centre with his wife Margrit for decades. He is a proud craftsman, but somewhat worn out, as the butcher’s trade is no longer what it once was. Erwin is frustrated, and his relationship with his wife is suffering as a result. On top of that, there are these strange nightmares that plague him every night. Erwin begins to question himself and the meat industry …
A story about consumption and ambivalence in our globalised world, about preserving traditional craftsmanship, and about living together and apart in long-term relationships.
‘The debate about meat is often characterised by black-and-white thinking. With his story of Erwin, the butcher plagued by pangs of conscience, Martin Oesch confronts us with the fact that it is not that simple — and that we all bear responsibility when it comes to issues such as animal welfare, sustainable agriculture or the preservation of craftsmanship.” — Anna Pearson, author, chef and publisher at Edition gut
