Love is possibly one of the best sensations that we human beings can experience. Finding a person who fills us up and feels the same way about us is incredible.

But maintaining a relationship is not always easy, because, many times, we have to reach agreements with the person we love and give in to be well together. Sometimes we have to sacrifice ourselves and sometimes our partner. The important thing is that there is a balance.

A short film about love

Short films are a fun way to learn new things and reflect on life. And in this article we present a short film that talks about a subject that affects us all and that is capable of making us travel great distances to be happy with that special person: it is love.

What the short film is about

This cartoon short has a clear message . The story begins with an executive “piggy” who, like every morning, comes to the cafeteria for his breakfast. He looks like a pig with regular habits, since he always eats eggs for breakfast (and not one… but hundreds). Just when he orders another portion of this delicious food, a beautiful hen comes in the door and sits down to order her morning coffee. The pig, neither short nor lazy, puts on his bow tie and sets out to conquer the beautiful hen. It is just then that the waiter serves her her new double portion of eggs.

The hen is surprised and offended, and the pig sneaks the eggs out of the hen’s sight. We must not forget that the eggs come from the hen… The pig, seeing that the situation is compromised, takes out a daisy from I don’t know where, and gives it to the hen because he wants to conquer her. The hen falls at his feet and they end up leaving together . The next scene takes place in a cinema, where both animals share a box of popcorn. Then, in another scene, she shares some corn, which is what the hen eats. It seems that the pig is so in love that he makes any sacrifice for his beloved hen. He stops eating eggs and replaces them with corn.

Making decisions to stay with a partner

The story goes on and they seem like a very loving couple. However, the pig thinks all the time about being able to enjoy those delicious eggs as he did when he was a bachelor. Obviously he loves his chicken, but fried eggs call him a lot.

The pig sees eggs in every corner, in the Titanic movie they are watching in the cinema and even in his partner’s body. He’s becoming obsessed because he has a need to eat eggs.

So one night he escapes and goes straight to the bar as if he were an alcoholic, but instead of ordering a glass of Tennessee whiskey he orders several servings of eggs. But when he is ready to eat the first one, his heart gives him a turn, then he remembers his beloved. He doesn’t know what to do… eat eggs or not eat eggs? That’s the question. In the end he decides not to eat, and goes straight home to see his great love .

A simile with infidelity

What this story tells is that love is not as beautiful as the movies make it out to be, but there are situations where you have to decide. Do we give in to impulses or do we respect the person who loves us most? The short film reminds us that staying with a partner is based on decisions, and one of them is to be or not to be unfaithful to the person who sighs for us.

Respect is important in relationships, and is possibly the value that carries the most weight. When trust is lost because of disrespect, it is difficult to get back on track and make the relationship work. Logically, there are liberal relationships in which the members of the couple sleep with other people, but always in a consensual way, so respect is not lost.

People outside the relationship, just like eggs, are always there. But you make the decision to stay with your partner and not hurt them. We’re all promiscuous, but only those who choose to be unfaithful. Having said that, infidelities occur for various reasons, for example, because of communication problems, monotony or differences that may exist between the members of the couple. When someone is unfaithful it is because they have decided to be, as they could have taken another path, perhaps leaving the relationship before going to bed with someone else.

Keys to making the relationship work

However, relationships are not easy and moments of doubt can arise at any time. However, there are a number of principles that can help a relationship work .

They’re next:
