Edition Moderne presents: Martin Oesch – Carnal Desire

Erwin is a master butcher and has been running a butcher’s shop in the town centre with his wife Margrit for decades. He is proud of his profession, but frustrated because he is no longer what he once was. Added to this are the 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 drifting apart in long-term relationships – nominated for the Max and Moritz Prize 2026.
