Giles. He later wakes up in a
tub of water filled with vegetables
and is told he is about to be
cooked and eaten. Derek also

in a seagull‘s nest. He also
finds that his brain is leaking
out the back of his head, so he
stuffs it back in and uses a hat
to hold it in place.
FACTS
The story was originally designed
for a 20 minutes short film
with the title Roast of the Day.
Kaihoro, the name of the fictional
city, is based on the Maori
language of the indigenous
Māori people in New Zealand.
Kai therefore means food and
horo can be translated as city,
from which the term city of food
or city of food results. Furthermore,
Kai horo in Maori means
greedy or also fast food.
