ReportSynopsis
A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three children destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only with his loss but 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 sate their horrific hunger? The task falls to the eldest son, Alfredo, a teenage misfit who seems far from ready to accept the challenge... But without human meat the family will die.

There is gore, but it isn't excessive by horror standards. Most of it is implied via audio but the worst of it occurs out of view.

At around 36:40 a boy starts forcibly and aggressively groping a bound woman's breasts and genital area, pulling her bra up in the process. What might be a rape occurs around 55 minutes in.

They spend the whole movie looking for someone to eat and have a victim butchered and ready to go, but due to the arrival of the police, they never actually eat anyone during the course of the movie. A character attempts to eat his sister's face but fails.

The murder scene is brief and not particularly graphic but a character deposits the corpse among the victim's friends and peers as a warning.
