A pig is roasted over an open fire, the spit attached to the back wheel of a car. When the car accelerates the pig turns at different speeds, while the voice of Residente Calle 13, a young reggaetón singer from Puerto Rico, addresses the viewer in Spanish. He draws on examples of non-human social organizations, such as those among bats, termites, and ants, for possible alternative modes of being-in-common and describes a possible path for contemporary experience. The world he describes is an antagonistic state of order and disorder, civility and barbarity, in an age of armed globalization.

Directed by Jennifer Allora, Guillermo Calzadilla
