TENEMOS LA CARNE / WE ARE THE FLESH

In the midst of an apocalyptic city lives an old man Mariano, obsessed with the idea of transforming his home into a womb-like cave. So, he spends his days distilling and drinking alcohol extracted from old bread, all by himself. One day siblings Lucio and Fauna find his place and ask him for shelter. In return, they accept helping him create his cave. As the work progresses, Mariano shares with them strange rituals that give rise to a disturbing sexual relationship and a dynamic in which dark and destructive instincts emerge.
