Battery

Synopsis

There is an overweight man with deep-seated psychological issues and two chicken like creatures. They are having a surreal dinner party contained within a dingy room with a high ceiling. The wallpaper is dirty and there happens to be some kind of insect infestation. The food they eat is also dirty. They reside on the edge of a city and a large factory dominates the landscape. The weather isn't too good either.
