Why I Crucified the Rooster

Directed by Vladimir Tadej

A peasant villager experiences an internal shift, driven by unexplained frustration, irrational anger, or despair. He turns his aggression toward the rooster—the very creature that wakes the village and symbolizes dawn, life, and innocence. The man captures the bird and proceeds to bind and "crucify" it, elevating a simple rural incident into a heavy ritualistic act.
