We Are What We Are
Director:
Jorge Michel Grau
A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three children destitute. The family is confronted not with a terrible challenge - how to survive. For they are cannibals. They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody ritual ceremonies... and the victims have always been provided by the father. Now that he is gone, who will hunt? Who will lead them? How will they slake their horrific hunger? The task falls to the eldest son, Alfredo, a teenager who seems far from ready to accept the challenge... But without human meat the family will die...
