Greedy God is a cartoony comedy, an animated short film by GAAD Studios.
Totec is an Aztec indian and the headman of his tribe. He took over the position when his father suddenly died. Unlike his father Totec is a clumsy screw-up who doesn’t seem to get anything right. The people of the village have never been pleased with his leadership, not even his own wife. Their marriage was arranged, which you will understand when you see her.
And as if this were not enough, their land suffers from a major drought. Their corn field is totally dying. This resulted in the whole village leaving Totec and his wife to their fate. I think you get the picture; he’s not the luckiest guy in the world. This is where our film begins.
They once built this huge pyramid temple that never worked, so they don’t have much faith in the Gods. But since they have reached rock bottom; he’ll try a last resort, to pray to the mighty rain God and beg for some rain, one last time. Unfortunately the God is not what you would call a decent guy, not even a mean guy. He’s that really evilly kind of guy, a true douchebag. You could therefor imagine that praying and offering won’t go as Totec planned, quite the contrary actually…
