The Picnic (2020)

Leo Vissak’s Piknik sheds light on a young man’s attempts to have a sincere connection with his loved one. He fails, she suffers. 

A man on a picnic with his girlfriend is having trouble re-establishing a love-connection they once had because of the girlfriend’s phone-craze. They get into a fight over a mere buttery knife and the man storms off. While away from the girlfriend, the man decides to go for one last attempt to get through to his girlfriend - he calls her. The girlfriend answers the phone with the buttery knife in her mouth and thus cuts off her tongue. The couple lose the prospect of ever communicating normally again.
