In Agustina Bazterrica's award-winning dystopian horror, a virus has rendered all animal meat poisonous, forcing humanity to turn to a horrifying new food source: humans. The practice of 'special meat' has been legalized and industrialized. The story follows Marcos, a man who works at a processing plant, slaughtering humans. His detached world is shattered when he is gifted a live 'specimen' and begins to form a forbidden human connection, forcing him to confront the monstrous reality he inhabits and the fine line between human and animal.
