Shown in the Director's Fortnight strand of the Cannes Film Festival 2010 Jorge Michel Grau's independently produced envelope-pushing shocker was acclaimed as the Mexican Let The Right One In. A middle-aged man dies in the middle of a shopping mall leaving his widow two sons and daughter destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only by their terrible loss but also a massive challenge. For they are cannibals driven to eat human flesh because of poverty rife in the Latin American urban jungle. To justify their diet they surround their mealtimes in ritual blood... ceremonies. But who will provide the victims now their father has gone? Who will trawl the city looking for life's flotsam losers prostitutes and junkies? The task falls to the eldest son Alfredo to slake the family's hunger. Yet he's far from ready to accept the challenge especially as he carries another secret all his own. [show more]

Mexican cannibal horror drama. When their good-for-nothing, whoring, debt-ridden husband/father dies in supremely undignified circumstances, a long-suffering wife and her teenage children are left to fend for themselves. But this is no ordinary family: they live as cannibals, and as their fractured family falls inexorably to pieces in the wake of Papa's death they must also take on the responsibilities of the ritual hunting and butchering that puts their meat on the table.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play. Shocking, bloody and deeply affecting, We Are What We Are is a visceral and powerful portrait of a family bound by a monstrous secret. When a middle-aged man dies in the street, his devastated family is left in crisis: for their patriarch has always provided the human flesh on which they feed. Now he is gone, they are left with a terrible dilemma who will lead their hunt for victims and how will they sate their terrible hunger?
