The movie "Pig" (2021) is about Robin "Rob" Feld, a reclusive truffle hunter who lives in the Oregon wilderness with his prized foraging pig. Rob was once a renowned Portland chef but withdrew from society after the death of his wife. He relies on his pig to hunt for truffles, which he sells exclusively to a young and inexperienced supplier named Amir. The story begins when Rob's pig is stolen by unknown assailants. Rob, with Amir's help, ventures back into the city of Portland to find his pig and confront the people behind the theft. As they navigate the city's underground fighting scene and high-end restaurant circles, Rob's past and his relationships come to light. Throughout the film, it becomes clear that Rob's quest is not just about the truffles or business but about his deep bond with the pig, who represents his last connection to a life and love he has lost. In the end, Rob discovers that the pig has died due to mishandling by the thieves. Despite this devastating news, the film focuses on themes of grief, healing, and acceptance rather than revenge or violence. The film subverts typical revenge thriller expectations by emphasizing emotional depth and peaceful resolution. As Rob returns to his life in the woods, the story highlights his journey towards inner peace and acceptance of his loss.
