Warning: Spoilers
1. Pig and Runt are born in the same Irish hospital sleeping side by side in very sterile cubie beds where they form a very strong emotional bond. 2. Pig and Runt grow up living next door to each other in a very close quartered brick townhouse and seem normal with the exception they feellllllllllllll a lot of emotions for each other but not so much for the other people around them. 3. Pig and Runt are reaching their 17th Birthdays and strange things are happening to the boy. Pig isn't coping with his emerging sexual feelings and emotions about the girl very well and is acting out in violent destructive ways to students around him. Runt doesn't know what she can do to change Pig's destructive behavior while being very much attached to him emotionally. 4. Irish Public Progressive School Teachers are very worried about the Pig's violent behavior towards other boys who show the slightest affection towards Runt which leads to a meeting with Runt's parents about having her removed to other school far away from Pig. 5. Runt is hurried away to a boarding school and when Pig finds out he loses his mind and goes nuts, he has to find Runt at any cost. 6. Pig hunts down Runt and makes a scene on top of some school cafeteria tables during lunch. Runt seems befuddled but not really upset, she ushers him out of the school where they both go out to celebrate their 17th Birthdays. 7. Pig and Runt go into a liquor store where Pig demands that the clerk give him some free booze for their 17th birthdays and when the clerk refuses he starts to smash up the place. Pig attacks the clerk with some sort of long stick to the head causing a lot of bleeding. Pig takes some booze out of the store and goes his merry way with Runt in tow. Surprisingly no Police are called to the scene to arrest Pig? 8. Pig and Runt enter a DISCO where Pig runs to the stage, grabs the mic out of one of the band members hands and belts out "She Really Got You Now".. which after a few minutes the large crowd tries to boo him off the stage. 9. A female patron in the crowd demands Runt pull Pig off the stage, she refuses which ends up in a girly fight and Runt getting smashed in the head with a bottle... a lot of blood oozing out but not gushing.. 10. Pig notices Runt's head injury, but she is worried about him being totally insane. Surprisingly once again no Police are called to the scene to arrest Pig? 11. Pig and Runt get into a car and head to the Beach where they have sex and then later she takes a sweater puts it over Pigs face and mouth, then smothers him to death. 12. Runt ponders her life with Pig and believes she did the right thing by Pig. 13. The Film fades to the end credits while Cillian Murphy sings "So New"

The soundtrack and background music were very good, enjoyed listening to the music. Did I like the film, yes, was it weird and thought provoking, hell yes, will I watch it again... hell no. Most people go to see a "Movie", only a few people go to see a "Film". Disco Pigs is a film.
