Everyone in Justine’s family is a vet. And a vegetarian. At 16, she’s a brilliant and promising student. When she starts at veterinary school, she enters a decadent, merciless and dangerously seductive world.

Not for the faint of heart, this cannibal coming-of-age tale explores personal and sexual awakening, alongside social initiation rituals rooted in consumption. At the bloody center of Julia Ducournau’s debut feature, there’s a rich look at particularly prickly sisterly love… and hate. Take a bite.
