Short Cut - A dark comedy by Pascal Chind

This dark comedy, set in a retro-futurist, dieselpunk world, tells the story of Tom, a midget in love with Francoise, a tall, beautiful girl with auburn hair. When Françoise humiliates Tom at the village fair, she finds herself in a sticky situation: Tom's best friend is none other than Fritz, a cannibal surgeon, who doesn't think twice about cutting Françoise down to size -- Tom's size...
