“Piggy” is the vicious nickname for Sara, a sullen, overweight teenage girl in rural Spain, who spends her days lost in music, reluctantly helping her father at the local butcher shop, and lying to her overbearing mother about her happiness. Small-town trauma has been the seeds of many great pieces of art because small towns have lots of secrets, and often blind eyes are turned to bad behavior. But beyond a trio of mean girls (including Sara’s former best friend) endlessly harassing her, Sara’s seemingly quaint village also has a serial killer on the loose, and he’s taken a very specific interest in her.
