The heroes of Taxidermia
are three men. Three generations of a family, who happen to live in Eastern
Europe, in Hungary. The story of the grandfather, the awkward batman of
a ruthless captain in the 2nd World war; the father, who is a professional
sports man, a competitive eater during the socialist era; and the story
of the son, who is a taxidermist, the sculptor of organic material, is
told by the youngest member of the family. Surrealism and historical facts
get mixed up in his imagination, creating a kind of "fairy realism".
