Desserts - Ewan McGregor - McGreggy

I think that the short film can be related to more than one of the theory's. It could relate to Claude Levi-Strauss' which is about opposites, in the case of Desserts there is an opposite in who the fishers are so roll reversal where the fish become the hunters rather than humans fishing for fish.
It can also be related to Rolande Barthes theory about the audience will get there individual own meaning from texts useing there own experiences on top of what they are seeing. Desserts also has an ending where we dont see what happens to Ewan McGregor which would be up to the audience watching like the "enigma code" which is basically a mystery to be solved.  
It can also relate to Todrov, which starts with an equilibrium then a disruption of this equilibrium by an event (the hook in his mouth) then a realization and and a reapir trys to happen where he trys to struggle aginst the hook, then the equilibrium returns but a new one to what it started as.
